Finally the dream which everyone thought wouldn’t come true has finally been completed the monumental task of creating this wonderful yearbook. As you all know that this is our first year book and much has happened and many things have changed .this being so, a lot of work was put into making this yearbook, being the first one made, we have tried to make the best of it. I would like to express the heartiest of thanks to all those who made this possible by sacrificing their time, trusting us and giving us hope that it can be done and not forgetting everyone who in one way or the other encour-aged .we also thank our teachers, non staffs for their care and support ,matrons and some of the form4 of 2010 who sacrificed their time to make it happen .the school secre-tary and the school development manager for technical support and most of all the yearbook committee which spent a lot of time and faced many obstacles while mak-ing this book and finally we get to enjoy reading this yearbook

A wise man once said “seeing is believing” many people thought we wouldn’t make it but we have finally finished what imagined and we hope it happens again in the future we might have forgotten some important events which are memorable in our school but since we are humans like any other person we hope our next issue will be outstanding. Wishing everyone a good time while reading this year-book

In football we were able to beat Kibao Secondary School 3-1 but the victory didn't just end there, we were able to beat Mgololo 3-2 and we finalized the triumph by beating Igowole 1-0 with our player Benvalla Mlowezi holding the highest record of assists in the matches against players of other teams. Without forgetting our national representative Isaac Mhabuka who went to Kibaha by showing outstanding football skills as a striker. What about other sports?! Well in Athletics we won a lot of titles where by in 100 meters race Harvey Kadyanji was able to attain the second overall position in the zonal level and 2nd position in the re-gional and Emmanuel Lufyagila was able to attain the 1st position in the regional level and 4th position I the Zonal level. Not only that but also we were able to excel in 200 meters were by we were well repre-sented by Michael Tibaijuka. The girls were not behind as Faith Shedafa (The American lady as called by other students from other schools) was able to outshine other girls in the 200 me-ters race as she became first in all races. What about the other part of the MOTTO? Well Brooke bond students managed to win not only in sports, but also in discipline, trustworthy and were able to prove that they were not “Blue Band students as other students said” but they were courageous ,energetic and talented were by students like Benvalla Mlowezi, Isaac Mhabuka, Bensambo Mlowezi, Harvey Kadyanji and Khahelo Sigalla played more than three sports which included Basketball, football, volleyball and athletics without being tired . Was the second part of the motto archived? Yes in deed as at Mgololo and Igowole our students were able to offer assistance in Mathematics and English subjects. Not only that but Malangali basketball team were invited at school for training and were really astonished by the friendliness of the teachers, discipline of the students and the school diet. By Mr. Kaja Khairo “Thanks to Janet Sanders our school development manager for her tiresome assistance, from financial resources to transportation services. But not forgetting our sports teacher, Mr. Kaja Khairo for his assistance in the playgrounds to where we slept. Really he is our ‘GRAND PA’!!” By the Umiseta students 2010

Life is always about sweat, And sweat is never about sex, Sex is there but meant for sometime later, If no, then regression follows when it’s too late.

I once went to heaven, I once saw the paradise, The hotness in the paradise, made my feelings very emotive, It was only for minutes, but costs years.

I thought I was right, I thought maybe they were jealousy, My mind told me ‘that they never felt how the hotness was’ But now, the hotness has turned to flames of lifetime fire.

I always dreamt of being a king, A king in a big house surrounded by swimming pools and bottles of wines, Oh! Poor me! Has GOD been fair, he turned my dreams to oxygen, That passes without my vision but my body feels the good or the worst of it.

I am only a son of Jesus, With only 16 years of age, But someone calls me daddy, And one else says husband, ‘this is our child’.

Hey! My dearest son, I’m sorry to tell you the fact, That I’m soon going to die, For the mistake I did before this cry.

The killer had kissed me, And left me in the world of ‘ifunanya’, Money, love, massage was present at any time, But I’ve to pay, and that is by telling you bye bye!

My mother severally told me, But I said ‘you’re stupid’ For that she was an idiot, Now the world is teaching me that she is never a fool!

Nobody is around for my blames Not even my only parents, My feelings and adolescence must carry my blames, Neglecting is what I now have to pay.

I just can’t imagine, People at funeral, Saying he is there because of AIDS, And he left a wife and poor kids. Yes, I do accept, That we sometimes feel something for someone else, Relax, do sports, have fun, so take off those evil feelings, But don’t you dare touch him/her because I did it and I regret.

Wake up my fellow youths, Boyfriends and girlfriends are just like ‘Bajaj’ and taxis, Let’s aim for division one, And graduate with A’s and not AIDS!

Just have a picture, how good it is, To be married a virgin, See how bright you’ll be seen, With no mistake, happily you live.

I’m getting tired, But my message, here you get, Being a celebrity is possible, But only if you struggle for the impossible to be possible!!

Many of the students who finish form four normally do part time jobs but it depends with the type of job and your abilities. Well on my side it wasn’t hard for me to find a part time job as when I was in Brooke Bond, the environment helped me a lot in developing my computer skills. When I finished form four, I was called at a local studio called Jam Vibe Records so as I could create videos of the songs that were recorded at that studio. But not only that, but thanks to Brooke Bond I have developed the required Language skills and Math skills that have enabled me to create websites and micro software. I am currently developing a website for Kanyota company and for Jam Vibe studio. Brooke bond has helped me a lot in gaining self confidence through debates and group discus-sions held in the classroom especially when study-ing Arts subjects. Well, I can say I owe Brooke bond all the success I currently have and I would suggest they build an A-level school because there is no school in Tanzania that has affordable fees and offers a wide range of high quality services apart from Brooke Bond. LONG LIVE BROOKE BOND.

Name: Prosper Lwakatare Sex: Male Age: 17 years old Current Occupation: Nursery teacher

Well, after I finished form four I was able to get a temporary Job as a teacher in a local nursery school where I was teaching Mathematics and English language. Brooke Bond helped me teach by helping me in building my confidence through various arguments, Conversations and discussions with all people at school regardless their age and status. This gave me courage and thoughts that I can talk with anybody regardless of their sex, age and status. This was the foundation that I have attained thanks to Brooke Bond making me able to manage and control a class, making them listen to my instructions. Also Brooke bond helped me in gaining the ability to interact with the society that sur-rounds me and taught me to be responsible to my actions and life. Knowing who I am and what I should do I got the desire of finding a part time job that was more mentally oriented than physically. Thanks to the skills I obtained at Brooke Bond School I was able to get the job at a cer-tain local school here at Dar-es-Salaam.

The school was established as a nursery school for helping the parents who worked at Unilever company. The primary section is composed of the pre-school section and the primary school section. It has day and boarding facilities for students who study here. Also, there are many well trained matrons who take care of these kids effectively.

The students in the primary section are very talented as they participate effectively in cooking classes, traditional dances and also in sports. In traditional dances the students are famous in the Mganda dance that is often performed in many of the school events such as graduation ceremonies, official visits and any other important event.

In academics, the primary section has had astonishing results throughout were as the standard seven of the year 2010 have been ranked 2nd in Iringa region. This is a very good position for a school to attain and this is the result of the efforts applied by the team of professional teachers headed by Mr. Soko.

Name: Delphine Pamba Sex: Female Age: 16 years old Class: Form Four The General School Secretary

There is no jewel in this world compared to learning. No learn-ing is as excellent as the knowledge obtained in school. Education is a mile stone to the road of success and recognition in every field and faculties. In the 21st century many things has changed such as the econ-omy of the world, social life, culture and many more .All of these things have advance from a poor stage to a better one. The causative engine made all of these things possible is Education. The legend of knowledge that is obtained from Education can be seen in many things for example the world of communication and science. As the matter of fact each country has its own language and other social systems which cannot be in conjunction with other country. For instance knowledge of the fields like in Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are universal, thus any one can study anywhere in this world with any language can acquire knowledge which can make one to be useful anywhere in this world for this knowledge is universal. Knowledge from school which is education has generally made globalization process possible that the world is now becoming as one village due to various development change as in media, transportation, communication, business, social interactions, culture interactions and sports. Always better life comes from quality and excellent knowledge found in general systems of quality education. The purpose that is behind companies, business people, workers, farmers is to have a better and high quality life. We seek the knowledge from school to help us have the best of everything. In this world with different culture, tribe, social systems, it is not possible to balance the interest of different groups of people or nations without education. Without education eve-rything done could have been futile. It is the fact and it will always stand as the fact that there is no Jewel in the world compared to learn-ing and No learning is as excellent as the knowledge obtained from school. Education is the key to every closure and to every stumbling blocks.. Delphine D. Pamba

Lets meet the current school secretary who is in form four by the year 2011. What are her thoughts about education.

Prayer is powerful and important, but how can my prayer be more powerful? Is there a secret formula? Does God really answer? Lets reflect back to one of the most quoted scientific study of prayers which was done about August 1982 and May 1983 whereby 393 patients in San Francisco General hospital coronary care unit participated in double blind study to assess the therapeutic effects of intercessory prayer. All participants in the study including patients, doctors and the conductors of the study themselves remained blind through out the study. To guide bias against the study, the patient were not contacted again after it was decided which group would not. It was assumed that although the patient in the control group would not note that they are being prayed for by the participants in the study, that other family members, friends etc would likely pray for the health of at least some of the members of the control group. There was no control over this factor. However at the end, the patient who had received prayers as the part of the study were healthier than those who had not. Now we see that the power of prayer is not the result of the person praying, rather than the power resides in the God who is being prayed to ref. Bible verse 1 John 5; 14-15. The effectual fervent prayer is the one with power behind it, one that produces results. The Duke University Medical centre in Durham NC contented a prayer study. This study had over 4000 participants over the age of 65. The study found that the ones who pray and attend religious services on weekly basis especially those between the age of 65 and 74 had lower blood pressure than their counterparts who did not pray/ attend religious services. Did their prayers lower the blood pressure? Dr. David B Larson also says that prayers can lower high blood pressure, he states “ Faith brings a calm state which helps decrease nervousness and anxiety with coping with day to day stress” The prayer of a righteousness man is powerful and effective. Man has divine power to demolish strongholds such as arguments and every pretension that set itself up against the knowledge of God. The stronger you are spiritually, energy fields of consciousness, the closer you are to God and paradise of creation. All this is the power of prayers. God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers and moves in re-sponse to prayers. THERE IS THE POWER IN PRAYERS. By Florence Tesha (Form Four 2010)

Here we will look at live examples and researches done in order to analyze and investigate the significance of prayers.

Poem Everyone speaks about deforestation That it destroys our vegetation The environment needs protection We don’t need desertification Charcoal and timber production Increases this affection What did the government do about this situation Let them answer this question There need to be an organization To carry some investigation This needs special attention!!!! By Mercy Chang’a

Effects of Deforestation in Mufindi A dramatic rise of temperature A delay of the rain season Un-favorable conditions for growth of tea The drying up of water sources: dams, springs Torrential rain

Deforestation has brought about the today global climate change at a certain percent in Mufindi. Trees are mainly cut down due to the fast grow-ing business of timber whereby many business men and women come to har-ness this product which is currently at high demand without replanting the trees. This brings about a dramatic effect on the climate where as Mufindi currently experiences unusual hot season with the temperature rising to about 25 o C whereby 20 years before the temperature could go to negative values.

Brooke Bond School has had an outstanding soccer results under a well trained Sports coach who is also certified by the FIFA organization . Here in Mufindi the school has developed talents of many players whereby Isaac Mhabuka making the news at school for the year 2010 when he succeeded getting at the final stage of the tournament at Kibaha. Not only that but also players like Benvalla Mlowezi, Elia Manoko, Isaac Mhabuka, Khahelo Sigalla and Ezekia Mtelekesya have been called to play for the local company teams due to their skills and contribution in the field.

In Basketball we have had a great success over a short period of time. Under our two teach-ers Mr. Luhala and Mr. Kairo, the Basketball team has had outstanding results in different matches. The team only trained over a short period of time but it was able to score the Unilever com-pany team headed by strong figures such as Dr. Mmbaga and Mr. Ikorongo who are really good Basketball team players. But not only that, they showed a stiffed competition to Malangali who are the everyday champions in the district only losing to a very few points. Also the Basketball team always advances to the district level as there is no team that can offer competition to the team

MY SWEAT DRANK BY MY OWN PARENTS!! We have heard a lot of crimes being committed, And a lot of shillings being eaten, By our votes obsessing our administrative family. Resigning is now seen as a toy, To calm us, spongy dolls! But our money-eaters, Are still driven in Mercedes Benz with ACs When we claim of our own money, They say you don’t know what cash is! Who is then going to be fair to us, dwellers? If our own parents drink our sweat? If all these will go, that our pretending parents, Depressing our currency, for their unsatisfied bellies, Is our millennium G8 dream going to ever come true???

WHERE ARE WE HEADED?

MOST OF US SAY TIME HEALS BUT ACTUALY TIME KILLS IT RUINS OUR NOMADIC WAYS OF LIVING BRINGING ABOUT NEW MODERN THINGS WHICH

SOME HOW HELP BUT IN OTHER HAND THEY IDOLIZE US.

Imagine how many people have been killed due to the discovery of booms if man hadn’t dis-covered nuclear power this world would have been a safe home. Imagine if man hadn’t discovered industry and the importance of raw material were would he be now there could not be global warming and man if he would have never discovered money this cor-rupt world filled with the desire of having wealth would have not been there. If Tanzania lived the ideology of UJAMAA or brotherhood there wouldn’t be classes or the desire of having more than anyone else. Caroline Maumba

DEATH OF AN ORPHAN. Each rain drop tripping on my skin, Every step I make increase the pain of the sores on my feet, My stomach is rumbling like thunder in December, It’s empty like a can or a vacuum member, My lips are dry like the cracks in the desert, My eyes are wide, I am not weeping, That’s how ma life has always been, Each morning is struggling, come sun it’s hustling, Hardships throughout, no hopes just trying.

My aids fatten my leader’s belly, Am like a criminal chased out the streets, I’ve turned a beggar for my own survival, All my dreams have faded away, Like a wind they have gone astray, The wounds in my heart shall never heal, Like a river never flows to, up hills Pee pee, it’s a lorry in front of me, I was dreaming while I was crossing, Survival isn’t running and so am dying……..

Commercial project group Topic– Problems affecting entrepreneurship

Civics project group Topic– Poor performance in Governmetn schools

Biology project group Topic– Family planning

Geography project group Topic– Climate Change

When the form four projects started most of the form four just took it as any other homework that we were just collecting data and writing it down in an acceptable format not knowing how they will help us know the community problems. The case study was held at Mufindi. Starting with Biology ,after the research they came to the conclusion that thanks to the company the local community had knowledge about family planning through various posters, seminars and contest. This helped the local people to know about the concepts and importance of family planning. The civics project learned a lot of on how government schools staying in rural areas are affected. Many of the schools don’t have enough facilities, not only that but the availability of teachers is another issue as the ratio of teachers to students is not a good one. We learned how hard is for many of the students to be selected to join form 5 such as many of them depend solely on sports scholarships in order to archive their dreams. The commercial project learned how entrepreneurs faced problems while running their business in Mufindi due to low stock turnover and expenses they face. But also they met people who had business success due to many sacrifices they made including not taking any alcohol as most of the local people do. The Geography project discovered some terrifying news about climate change affecting Mufindi. It was noted that

The miss Brooke Bond beauty pageant was lastly conducted on 2006 whereby a girl called Alice Musseti won the title. Since then the contest was not held again up to 2010 leading to a high excitement among students. It was held in the weekend where by the contest was opened by the school development manager. The Miss Brooke Bond was held together with the talent show. The talents which were performed were singing, dancing , drawing whereby the candidates were required to draw a portrait of the school development manger Ms. Janet Sanders.

The best academic performer for the year 2010

Brooke Bond school is famous for its outstanding academic achievement it has had since it has been established. In the Southern Zone it has maintained the first position among the co-education schools found in the region. Not only that but in the form two exams it is always in top ten where as the school has maintained the sixth position for the past three years and also it hasn’t dropped from the top ten best schools.

Biology subject Specimen

Apart from the form two results also the school has had outstanding Form Four National exams results whereby the record breaking results were achieved by the form four class of 2008 where by they were the 3rd National wide in the Form four results. Not only that but also the school has once produced one of the best ten students in the form four exams who is now in United States of America pursuing his University studies. The school is proud not to have a division zero since it was established and it rarely attains division three.

Also the school participates in many Academic competitions such as the Junior Mathematics contest, BP Essay writing competition. Not only the school partici-pates but also it usually wins many of the contest it participates. For example for the year 2009 the school attained the 3rd position in Tanzania whereby one of the students entered top ten. Also, in the BP Essay writing competition the student representing the school attained the third position. All this success is possible thanks to the well trained teaching staff headed by Mr. T. Mwajombe whereby they always sacrifice their precious time in order to teach the students but also finishing the curriculum in time. Also thanks to the non-teaching staff who help in ensuring that the environment helps the students to study without facing any problems.

Puzzle

In the year 2010 the sport that made the news was Soccer and the above squad is the one which made a lot of noise. Not only staying unbeaten in the UMISETA competitions but also scoring various teams found around our school such as Kibao Secondary School which was scored 3-1. This success comes after a lot of efforts and exercises that are done during Sports period and weekends so that the sports activities should not interfere with the studies. This year the team was able to capture the local peoples attention because not only the team wins its matches but also it plays a well organized and entertaining game such that it is compared to the English soccer team known as Arsenal because of how it plays.

The Brooke Bond Anthem project was originally an experimental project about how to record a sound and integrate it within some computer programs in order to obtain a quality sound track. It originally started as a joke as some started compositing modern poems in order to see how the project will work out. Eventually the song was successfully recorded and performed to Mr. Bracken a senior Unilever official. Here comes the video, it was recorded in the laundry room during one of the weekends with a small Canon Digital Camera, a halogen lamp and behind a blue screen. It took only a few hours to complete the recording whereby only a few people were participating the project. The video editing and compositing was done by Harvey Kadyanji who was also the one who introduced and implemented the recording experiment. After no time the video was completed but wasn’t aired because it was more of an experiment rather than a commercial project also because we were still under the system of a learning institution so it couldn’t be wise to air it. Although it has remained a local project but it has helped the students in one way or the other because the project applied many Physics and Literature principles.
