Makala haya ninayaandika leo ikiwa ni baada ya kumtembelea Bw. Frank Mwaisumbe nyumbani kwake; jumapili mbili zilizopita na kubadilishana nae mawazo. Bw. Mwaisumbe ni mfanyabiashara aliyepo mjini Iringa anaemiliki kampuni inayohusika na uwakala wa safari za Anga, iitwayo Getterland Company Limited na pia ni mmoja ya waasisi wa shirika la Mindset Empowerment linaloendesha mashindano ya mbio za Ruaha Marathon.
