Web Development Internship in Morogoro
August 21, 2026by: Myles Carpenter - United StatesMany thanks to Magessa George and the FIEN Foundation for their warm welcome to Morogoro, Tanzania! My main objective was to make a website for Green Apple Pre and Primary School, alongside my colleague Ryder. We visited the school a few times a week to work directly with teachers and administration to design a website that met their needs. We enjoyed playing football with the kids at school on Wednesday afternoons. I give my thanks to Mr. and Madam Kusaga for hosting us at the school. After Ryder and I completed our work, we were invited to an Iftar celebration hosted by the school. The Kusagas, teachers, and I spoke, giving thanks for the experience and work we put in together. I felt so much support from the FIEN Foundation as I navigated this journey. FIEN families hosted us for lunches and dinners. George introduced us to friends who guided us through shopping, public transportation, and other elements of life in Morogoro. I lovedworking at the FIEN office most days, chatting over chai with George, meeting his family, and enjoying delicious ugali. I find myself counting the days until I can return to see my friends in TZ again.
