The Tanzania Watoto Fund is run by Stony Brook University’s International Academic Programs Office and benefits orphanages in Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania. Every summer, Dr. William Arens leads an anthropology-based study abroad program to visit and assist these orphanages along with clinics and schools. Fifty guests recently attended a benefit for the fund at Pentimento Restaurant in Stony Brook Village, featuring live African music, traditional cuisine and original Tanzanian artwork for sale. Over $3,000 in proceeds was raised.
