One of the German participants, Gabrielle May, works at FLASK Women’s Center in Altona. She invited participants to visit and learn about the services provided for women at this center. The center’s name literally stands for Women, Life, Work, Self Confidence, and Creativity. They support women who are facing socio-economic and personal hardships. Most Tanzanians felt inspired by the work at FLASK, seeing women supported with formal education, computer literacy, access to information, free meals and space to network and network. One of the participants from Tanzania, Issaya, became interested in exploring potential collaborations linking some of the initiatives at FLASK with his projects in Dar es Salaam.
