Editor–I think we Tanzanians did ourselves very proud last week.

We hosted several heads of states, including two US presidents!

By nature, we Tanzanians are not boastful people, but there comes a time when one must recognise a job well done.

President Kikwete and his team were first class in the way they hosted all these dignitaries. Most of us were inconvenienced. However from what I saw on television, I think it was worth it. Am sure President Obama has gone back with nice thoughts about Tanzania.

Much has been written about the visits by the leaders from the first two economic giants of the world. But like President Kikwete put it, Tanzania is a friend to all.

Those willing to give a helping hand are welcome as long as it improves the livelihood of Tanzanians.
