Haven of Peace Academy 2023-24

A note from Mrs Mwenda
formerly known as Miss Harrison

Hello HOPACians!


What a joy to be writing to you. As I scrolled through the email list your faces came to mind. Though I confess I still view some of you at the age at which we last knew each other…and I hope you view me the same!


As Director of HOPAC, it is my honor to be leading the celebrations for our 30th anniversary year. We kicked off the first day of school with a balloon banner, had a 90’s and/or Blue & White themed day for Pamoja Week and highlighted celebrations around the world during International Day - all while making new memories for HOPAC students and teachers who will one day be in your shoes: HOPAC alumni and former teachers and families.


As we celebrate this year, I would like to invite you to join in events at the school ranging from upcoming community nights and SEW reflection day to football games and dinner and trips!


If you’ve been looking for a reason to visit Tanzania again, this is it. This is the year. We have a few former staff already visiting during graduation week (I’m looking at you, Medinas and Snyders) and it would be a wonderful celebration time for more staff and students to join.


We’ve also partnered with a local travel agency to set up a selection of safaris and trips just for the HOPAC community. They can assist with any of your travel needs.


Make a plan with your graduating class to relive your Zanzibar trip.

Connect with your favorite teachers and travel together.

Reach out to one of our current mission partners and visit their projects in Tanzania.


We would love to welcome you back to Haven of Peace Academy to celebrate with us.


Blessings,

Mrs. Mwenda
