Project Tanzania 1985 – 2000
The Zanzibar Doors Dedication Dance Ceremony

Project Tanzania was an ongoing effort to help people in the East African nation of Tanzania overcome the effects of hunger, drought, and poverty. It was a way for North Carolinians to make a difference in the lives of people in the Shinyanga Region of Tanzania through contributions, personal involvement, and better understanding.

On Thursday, February 24, 2000, this magnificent door was dedicated during a spectacular ceremony held in Exploris, where the doors will remain. The Ceremony included an introduction of board members and special guests, a prayer of dedication, and an authentic african dedication dance performed by the Chuck Davis African American Dance Ensemble from Durham, NC.
