Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to participate in the inaugural convention of the Diaspora Council of Tanzanians in America (DICOTA) to be held in Houston, Texas, USA from October 1st to 4th, 2009 at the Renaissance Houston Hotel Greenway Plaza.
In September 2008, approximately 30 with ties to or of Tanzanian origin from different parts of the United States gathered in Houston Texas as a focus group to discuss the possibility of starting a Diaspora Organization of Tanzanians living in the United States of America. Also in attendance was the Ambassador of Tanzania to the United States – H.E. Ombeni Sefue, along with a delegation of dignitaries from Tanzania representing the government, the public and private sectors.
Arising from this meeting a committee was formed which would:

The convention is organized and promoted by DICOTA and the Pan African Community Organization (PACO).The purpose of DICOTA is to promote cultural, education, business and trade pursuits benefiting Tanzania and the United States of America by getting involved in liaison, networking and entrepreneurial activities in the different sectors of United States’ and Tanzania's economy.

ReplyDeleteNi nini Mikakati yake,halafu kinaunganisha vipi mtu mmoja mmoja,yule wa Seattle na Miami wataunganika vipi?Na kwa nini inaguration ifanyike Houston?Lingekuwa Jambo la Busara Inaguration ifanyike sehemu ambayo ni rahisi kwa watu wengi kwenda (Middle) mfano:Indianapolis,IN au St.Louis,MO.
Kiungo cha Umoja huo (DACOTA) Uwe Ubalozi wetu DC,maana tayari tuna vyama vingi katika miji yetu,sasa hii Dacota ichukuliwe kama Umoja wa Watanzania ktk America,Tuwe makini yasiletwe mambo ya CCM,Chadema au CUF,tutambuliwe kwa Utanzania wetu na sio kwa mtazamo wa kivyama.
