Kuuliza si ujinga
OK, so "Peace Corps Tanzania" wasn't a very creative title. I've replaced it with a Swahili proverb: Kuuliza si ujinga. Literally, "to ask is not stupidity."
Some other proverbs I ran into while searching for a title:
-Penye nia, pana njia. (where there's a will there's a path. It rhymes!).
-Haraka haraka haina baraka (hurry hurry is not a blessing--haste makes waste)
-Mapenzi ni kikohozi, hayawezi kufichika (love is like a cough, it can't be hidden)
-Mgeni ni kuku mweupe (A stranger is a white chicken--literally a stranger stands out. When you think of me a little over a week from now, think of a white chicken standing out in a crowd).
