"It is our hope that you arrived back home safely. Blessings to your families. It is not easy to express our heartfelt gratitude that expresses our feelings to be with you for almost 10 days in Tanzania. It was an educational, learning and joyful period for us all. You made our minds repositioned, and made our visions rethoutfully. It was a period to agree that change is inevitable and a new TCFN is possible. Thank you for your tolerance that is obvious to human-beings.  It is our expectation that in the very near future we will be proud with a new and unique strategic plan. These all are possible because of you!  We wish you all the best and hopefully, having the strategic plan is a beginning of the successful and sustainable TCFN operations. Again, thank you so much for staying and working with the TCFN team and welcome again to Tanzania".

Dear Shaun, On behalf of the Board, the Conference Organizing Committee, and Members of the East Africa Philanthropy Network (EAPN), I want to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional contributions as a Moderator at the 8th East Africa Philanthropy Conference. Your ability to ignite, challenge conventional wisdom and offer fresh perspectives enable us to position the sector to think boldly and embrace innovative approaches, igniting a transformative wave of change beyond the conference. Your visionary leadership sparked meaningful discussions and planted actionable ideas that will shape the fabric of philanthropy in our region. You challenged long-standing paradigms and encouraged speakers and delegates to re-examine their roles, embrace collaboration, and prioritize sustainable impact; we still hope to partner in scaling this up. Thank you once again for your noteworthy support and for igniting a new era of action, partnerships, and purpose-driven philanthropy. We look forward to the unlimited possibilities of future collaborations and continuing our collective pursuit of a brighter and more equitable society.
