A pasta dinner at Windsor’s Fogolar Furlan Club this weekend will raise money in support of teams of students from the Faculty of Education heading to schools in Tanzania later this semester.

Teachers for Tanzania will bring medical and school supplies, clothing and shoes, soccer gear, and hygiene products to the east African nation’s Singida region. The teams will also bring funds to purchase much-needed materials within the community that will contribute to the local economy.

“We feel fortunate to have an opportunity to respectfully develop permanent and sustainable self-reliance in the lives and community of the children in Singida, Tanzania,” says Shannan Crowder, one of the organizers of the project. “Teachers for Tanzania focuses on education, building and maintaining infrastructure, and health and well-being.”

The dinner is Saturday, January 28, at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $30 at the door and include unlimited pasta, salad, dinner rolls, dessert, coffee and tea. Items will also be offered for raffle and auction. The Fogolar Furlan Club is located at 1800 North Service Road.
