To Chow,
He was good teacher, good friend, He didn't teach me maths or physics he was with me in basketball and fema club. I will miss his so much. Rest in Peace Sir Joseph Chow
**********************
Mr Joseph Chow was my physics and mathematics teacher at ndanda school. We shared many good things together, he told us about his family in New York and about his girl friend in London. The last thing eh told us me was "Shalom, I'll go to Sonpoa and after two weeks I will be back" This is what he said in his physics laboratory. I'll miss him, I'll miss him very much. May God rest his soul in Peace.

Dear Sirs/Madams
On Wednesday morning 23rd September 2009 Ndanda Secondary School Community received a shocking news of the death of our beloved member of the teaching staff through radio (TBC) broadcasting. I t was hard for us to believe that Joseph is no longer with us until the time when we received the officially from Peace Corps Headquarters in Dare es Sallam
The late Joseph was posted to our school in January 20008 as a Chemistry teacher. However, due to the shortage of teachers that our school was and is still facing, especially in science subjects, Mr Joseph voluntarily decided to help our students who are taking those subjects namely, Physics, basic mathematics and pure mathematics in addition to his main teaching subject chemistry. All the time he was with students chatting with them, advising and teaching them in a very friendly manner.
Ndanda secondary school community, therefore understands and appreciates the efforts that the late Joseph has demonstrated during the whole period of his stay with us ma and indeed proved to all of us that he was really an industrious teacher. His death therefore is a loss not only to Ndanda secondary school community but also to all education stake holders in Tanzania. We understand and believe that as human beings we have no control over life and death, still the memory of Joseph can never be erased from our minds. I, on behalf of the Headmaster Ndanda secondary school community and on my own behalf, may you please on behalf of the family of the late Joseph and all US of America Peace Corps accept our heart felt condolences
We pray that God the Almighty grant peace to the departed soul and give his family and the Peace Corps strength to bear this loss. The almighty God brought the late Joseph to us and the Almighty God has taken him from us; the name of our lord be praised. May Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace. Amen
