Yes , the clock tower was built by Galanos , a greek millioner who came in tanganyika at early years of the 20th century . He was from a mountainous greek village and came here as a poor young boy . He also built the Saint Constantine School for greek pupils . In this school found hospitality hundreds of greek children in the 50s and 60s , between them and I.

Cheers!
I took a look at this page
...and found Julie Sundin's comment. Amazing, one of the few girls i remember by name from that time (i was secretly in love with You!). I remeber Your brother Graham even better, and i recall You were from Newcastle (or Glasgow)?? I am pretty sure it was Newcastle..
Great times at St Constatine's where i remember Hitesh V Patel to be my best friend there. I have, so far, never returned to Arusha, but one day i will. I work now i Stockholm, Sweden. And got my older brother here as well,
i had Mr Ramsey, Miss Hewsick, Mr De Muro (what an idiot - however he was right that i would never be able to learn French).
I recall that my brother had Mr Gregory, and if memory serves me right, so did Julie ;-)
Somewhere in the attic of my parents house, there is bound to be a memory of St Constantines, a bunch of "stars" that i got representing myself and "Athens".
Best wishes to you all who went there!!
Mattias
Thanks for the email. I've put Julie's address in the bcc of this reply, and maybe she will get in touch with you!
And thanks for your recollections from Arusha - what dates were these?

I went to St. Constantines International School in Arusha from 1974 to around 1977/1978 and I remember competing against Arusha International School in swimming carnivals. I was amazed to see a photo (on the school website) of the Tortoise - still going strong after all these years.
I was friends with Maxine and Sam (Samantha) Heywood-Shot (Shott?) and would love to catch up with them again. Would love to hear from anyone who knows them or their whereabouts.
What a great life Arusha gave us - yes the schools were strict, the teachers harsh, the school food often horrid (we got Mrs Cruickshank after she left your school - she was at St Michael’s school in Soni before that (my brother had her) - but the memories form some of the best in my life.
Look forward to hearing from anyone. Cheers
Julie Sundin
