__**My Happiest Moment**__

My happiest moment in my life was when I came to Australia in 2007, October on 30th. From October 2007 when I arrived here, I really enjoyed going around with my Case Worker and the Volunteers from Centacare. I had a BBQ and I met other African peaple who came here berfore me. I also relaxed when I started school at TAFE before Polytechnic. We went to Mt Wellington with the teachers and all the student from school. Then I visited many, many different places in Hobart and had picnics. It was really the best oppotunity for me to make new friends.

Mission's Christian Church The Mission's Christian Church is a Church built by the Missionaries from SWEDEN for a long time ago. That Church is located in the North East of South Kivu in Zone Uvira. UVIRA Uvira is a smal city situated in East of South Kivu in DR Congo. It has smal population about 3000 peaple and it's near the river called Lake Tanganyika.

MY HARMONY WEEK LAST MONTH at TAS - POLYTECHNIC

On a Harmony Taste Day I went for sharing lunch during Harmony Week. When I got there I saw lots of different foods from many countries then I started looking at the foods to see what kinds of them I would like, so I picked out small, small from any food I needed and I went to sit down next to my friends, we were eating and talking together. The foods were very delicious with chilli in side, oh that chilli was very strong and my mouth was burning but I enjoyed because I couldn't stop eating when it was a Harmony Taste Day for Harmony Week sharing lunch. It was very wonderful day the weather looked lovely we had realy good fun time and everyone enjoyed the foods and talk to each other.

Last week I went shopping

On wednesday everning when I went shoppng I bought all things that I needed, but after I went to the butcher's shop ,it was closed. What could I do when I hadn't any meat in my fridge! I went to the chicken shop and there I bought 2kg of chicken.Then it started raining. I rode my bicycle in the rain.I felt very cold that day. I had trouble to cook my food because I was feeling so cold.

My weekend. Last week on Wednesday when I came back from School. When I tried to pay, I looked in my pokcket, but I didn't have any money. I had not anything nothing all.I was embarrassed.

My Learning Plan media type="file" key="Mzaliwa's Learning Plan.mp3" width="274" height="96" Hi. My name is Mzaliwa. I started school when I was 7 years old in The Democratic Republic of Congo. I learnt English at school and I really enjoyed it. I went to school on and off until 2004 because of my dificult life in a Refugee Camp in Tanzania.

I got marriage in 2007 and then came to Australia. I started Polytechnic, it used to be called TAFE, in 2008 in the preminary English Class then moved to level one in the same year. In 2009 I went to Brisbane to speak at a conference on Albinism Fellowship of Australia. Then I moved to the level 2 English class. Also in the same year in August my wife came from Tanzania. Recently this year in February my 2 sisters came from the Refugee Camp in Tanzania too.

Now I am studing at the Tasmanian Polytechnic in level 2 General English class because I finished my AMEP hours. My **short term goal** is to complete Certificate 2 as soon as possible and my **long tem goal** is to study Carpentry. I would like to study Carpentry because here they use Electronic Machines and there are less physical requirements needed in the job.The **barriers** to my **learning** are family commitments and job hunting.

I am very happy to be able to study to Australia. I look forward to a wonderful **future** in Hobart with my family and friends.
