For those who knew Simbo Ntiro...very sad news indeed. Harry From: eThinkTankTz@yahoogroups.com [mailto:eThinkTankTz@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Sawe Sent: 14 July 2008 13:51 To: ethinktanktz@yahoogroups.com; SWOPnet@dgroups.org Subject: [www.eThinkTankTz.org] Simbo Ntiro - Sad News Dear colleagues, Today I am dreadfully sorry to have to share tragic information with you. This is that our brother Simbo Ntiro has suffered a terrible car crash in the early hours of Sunday morning (13th July), and that he passed away at the scene, here in Dar es Salaam. We have therefore lost a founding member of our online community and a very energetic participant in national, regional and global efforts in the realm of "ICT for Development". He was to turn only 47 years old next month, and so may have been expected to have plenty more to contribute in many ways. It appears that for some undetermined reason, he lost control of his Honda CRV on Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road, just after passing the small feeder road out of Leader's Club. This caused his car to mount the high pavement and it was stopped by a tree that was hit sideways between the front wheel and the driver's door. We were told that he died instantly of his injuries. I had spent some time with him during the evening before, and he had at the time a very positive mindset brought on by a whole range of issues, one of which was a family get-together due for Sunday afternoon, towards which he had been shopping. And we also discussed a number of forthcoming work-related events which we were preparing jointly. My deepest sympathies go to all among us who knew or interacted with him in any way. Arrangements are being made to set up an online condolence book, so that we may be able to express our sorrow and share our support and memories with his family. I hope to be able to provide you a URL for this before tomorrow. In terms of immediate family, Simbo leaves behind a two children (adolescent and young-adult) who were living with him in Dar, and a wife (their mother) who is due in from Nairobi today. He also has his mother and elder brother who are due in from Kampala. Then he leaves a large extended family with members in Tanzania as well as in Kenya and Uganda. Also grieving for him is a vast network of friends scattered across all four corners of the globe, including this online community. May our Almighty God bless Simbo's soul with eternal peace! Yours in grief, David Sawe. __._,_.___ Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/message/12679;_ylc=X3oDMTM2Y3Y1Y 2VhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BG1zZ0lkAzEyN jc5BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MAR0cGNJZAMxMjY3OQ--> in this topic (1) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxazdscGg5BF9TAz k3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BG1zZ0lkAzEyNjc5BHNlYw NmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--?act=reply&messageNum=12679> Reply (via web post) | Start <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlbmEzcnY3BF9TAz k3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cG MEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--> a new topic Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJlYmRrNnNuBF 9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2 1zZ3MEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--> | Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZzgwZ25mBF9TA zk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2Zpb GVzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-> | Photos <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJldGhzM2k5BF9T Azk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Bo b3QEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--> | Links <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZmw5am9oBF9TA zk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2xpb mtzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-> | Database <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJjcXVrOTAxBF 9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2 RiBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-> | Polls <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMG1rbDg2BF9TA zk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Bvb GxzBHN0aW1lAzEyMTYwMzI2NDA-> | Members <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJlajJlajJsBF9 TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA21 icnMEc3RpbWUDMTIxNjAzMjY0MA--> | Calendar <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eThinkTankTz/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJkaGg0M3M0BF 9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyOTM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2 NhbARzdGltZQMxMjE2MDMyNjQw> Anyone who would like to join eThinkTankTz is welcome to do so by sending a blank email to: eThinkTankTz-subscribe@yahoogroups.com MARKETPLACE _____ Yahoo! <http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=13r4ku05h/M=624381.12730922.13032918.10835568/D =groups/S=1705110266:MKP1/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1216039841/L=/B=gWWXBELaX94-/J=1216032 641215719/A=5396684/R=0/SIG=14ejsu8ik/*http:/media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver /href?banner=197792&place=26143&url_=http://tc.deals.yahoo.com/tc/blockbuste r/display.com?cid=bbi00027%0d%0a> Groups users, check out this limited time offer from Blockbuster! <http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=13r4ku05h/M=624381.12730922.13032918.10835568/D =groups/S=1705110266:MKP1/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1216039841/L=/B=gWWXBELaX94-/J=1216032 641215719/A=5396684/R=1/SIG=14ejsu8ik/*http:/media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver /href?banner=197792&place=26143&url_=http://tc.deals.yahoo.com/tc/blockbuste r/display.com?cid=bbi00027%0d%0a> Rent DVDs free for a month! <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkcGJoODhuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIyO TM4NTQEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MTEwMjY2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMjE2MDMyNjQw> Image removed by sender.
