High-octane action, friendly rivalry and vibrant f

High-octane action, friendly rivalry and vibrant fellowship took centre stage on Sunday, 26 July, as members of the local Sikh community gathered at Sikh Union Arusha for an action-packed padel tournament.

Generously sponsored by Daljit Kalsi (Jite) and his family, the event brought community members together for a memorable day of sport, teamwork and fellowship.
The tournament featured eight spirited teams, each comprising three men and two women. Competing with passion and sportsmanship, the 40 players delivered an exciting display of athleticism and strategy that kept spectators cheering from the opening serve to the final point.

The competition began with a closely contested group stage, with the eight teams divided into Groups A and B. During the round-robin matches, the teams battled to secure the leading positions, producing fast-paced rallies and several tense, nail-biting moments.

The top teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals where the standard of play rose even further. Following a series of highly competitive matches, the two strongest teams progressed to the final.

The championship match provided a fitting conclusion to the tournament, featuring sharp tactics, impressive agility and high drama until the final point.

Beyond the trophies and results, the event highlighted the unity of the community and the generous support that made the tournament possible.

Special thanks were extended to Sikh Union Arusha for hosting the tournament and providing the venue, as well as to Kalsi and his family for sponsoring the event.

Heart attack or heartburn? Chest discomfort is on

Heart attack or heartburn?

Chest discomfort is one of the most common reasons people seek emergency medical care. While it may simply be heartburn, it could also be a heart attack—a life-threatening condition requiring immediate treatment. Because the symptoms can sometimes feel similar, knowing the difference could save a life.

Heartburn is caused by stomach acid flowing back into the oesophagus commonly known as acid reflux. It usually causes a burning sensation in the centre of the chest, often after eating a large meal or spicy food or when lying down. The discomfort may also be accompanied by a sour taste in the mouth or the sensation of food coming back up the throat. Many people find that heartburn improves after taking antacids or sitting upright.

A heart attack, on the other hand, occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked. Without enough oxygen, the heart muscle begins to suffer damage. The sooner treatment begins, the greater the chances of protecting the heart muscle and preventing serious complications.
During a heart attack, many people describe feeling pressure, tightness, squeezing, heaviness or fullness in the chest. The discomfort may spread to the left arm, both arms, the neck, jaw, back or upper abdomen.

Unlike heartburn, a heart attack is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as:

• Shortness of breath
• Cold sweats
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or fainting
• Extreme weakness or unusual fatigue

Some people may experience less typical symptoms. Instead of severe chest pain, they may have unusual tiredness, nausea, indigestion-like discomfort, back pain or jaw pain. Because these symptoms can be mistaken for less serious conditions, treatment may be delayed.
When it comes to discomfort involving your heart or chest, it is always better to be assessed and told that it is heartburn than to ignore a heart attack until it is too late.

ARUSHA’S philanthropist and poultry entrepreneur,

ARUSHA’S philanthropist and poultry entrepreneur, Mrs Faye Cran, widely known as Mama Kuku, celebrated her 85th birthday last week, marking a milestone in a life that has brought hope, dignity and opportunity to thousands of disadvantaged Tanzanians.

Born in England during the Second World War, Mrs Cran moved to East Africa with her family while still a child and made the region her home. Her entrepreneurial journey began modestly with just 20 chicks. Through determination and business discipline, the small venture grew over the decades into a poultry enterprise, earning her the Kiswahili name Mama Kuku, meaning “Mother of Chickens.”Yet, beyond the business, Mrs Cran’s enduring legacy is found in the lives of people who might otherwise have been forgotten. For decades, she has used her experience, friendships and Rotary network to mobilise support for poor families, abandoned children, people living with disabilities and communities affected by disease, stigma and exclusion.

She was a driving force behind the establishment of the Upendo Leprosy Victims Rehabilitation and Self-Reliance Centre in the mid-1990s. The centre became a refuge for children and adults rejected by their communities because of leprosy. It provided not only shelter and medical support but also a path towards independence through farming, livestock keeping, weaving, maize milling and the production of handicrafts.

Mrs Cran also became closely involved in programmes protecting and empowering Tanzanians with albinism. The initiatives provided children with beds, mattresses, mosquito nets, protective hats, sunscreen and visual aids. They supported community education to confront dangerous myths, trained health workers, helped hospitals treat precancerous skin conditions and enabled beneficiaries to establish small businesses. Her approach was never simply to give relief, but to help people regain confidence and earn a living.

Education has remained another pillar of her service. The Faye Cran Chem Chem Primary School, incorporating the Mama Kuku Preschool, was established in a community that lacked a public school.
