Today‘s group of visitors to the Makumbusho came from Nachingwea, a four-hour bus ride away from Mikindani.
The 63 primary school children, accompanied by their teachers, joined the many thousands who – during the four years the museum has been open – have come here to have fun learning about the history of the region. Jamila Mohamedi is their guide.

It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the death of Beverley Cairns. Beverley lived in Mikindani with her husband John while he was serving as District Officer and Commissioner during the 1950s as part of the British Administration. One of the rooms in the Old Boma is named Cairns and Beverley donated this picture on one of her visits. We would like to send our condolences on behalf of Trade Aid to Beverley’s family at this sad time.

Both Beverley and John were wonderful people. They conscientiously supported Trade Aid and its work in Mikindani for many years. Their fascinating book ‘Bush and Boma’ is still available for guests to read in the Hotel. We send our condolences to their family at this sad time.
