- ItemTangaza Update(A welcome Party With a different)(Tangaza University College, 2006-08) Tangaza University CollegeEvents come and poss! Some events become bygone history while others become a living history. But the fact that some events leave behind memorable traces, is yet another .timely truth. Such was the 2006/2007 Tangazo inaugural moss that took place on the 21 th Aug, 2006. Someone would rightly claim "this was just like any other Ton gaza annual event!" Sure it was! But I believe there ore some aspects of lru~h in what the author of Animal Form claims, "oil animals ore equal but some ore more equal than others". This could apply to events like the one we describe here. The day was graced by a bright sunlight since we hove not had that kind of sunny day since about two months. By 8.00am, students from various institutes begun to arrive. Yes, oil looked cheerful; indeed it was a meeting ofter a long break. Indeed the inaugural function began with exchange of news and views from all corners of the world. To the first years especially myself, everybody seem familiar at a point, and. this mode me to. tell myself that Tangozo will surely be a home for me in the next 4 years, keeping in mind the words of the DPA, "study and socialize in Tangaza". The apex of the day wcs the Holy Eucharist, by 8.30 om the procession of more than 30 priests approached the altar. Fr Tim Redmond the Principal welcomed Fr.Maurice Schepers, 0.P the Chairperson of the Board of Governors, who was the main celebrant. Everything was really well prepared, thanks to the school choir. Their melodious songs were lively and added life to the hole liturgy. The student body also participated very well in the whole celebration. At the end of the celebration many headed towards their various classes to catch the first lesson of the year which began by 1 0.35orn. Fist impression they say, lasts longer, and the good impression I got the first day will linger in me. There is a common saying "leave the place better than you hove found it" this is my wish for you. The second wish is to leave a legacy behind' Robert Sharma in his book "who will cry when you die" expresses more beautifully "when you were born you cried while the rest of the world rejoiced, live your life in such a way that when you die you will rejoice while the world cry. May all who dwell here become proclaimers of the mystery of faith.
