Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
Simon, Gerry, and Micky want to have a race with handmade miniature rafts. Simon's raft needs 36 sticks, Gerry's raft needs two-thirds of the number of sticks that Simon needs, and Micky's raft needs 9 sticks more than Simon and Gerry's rafts combined. How many sticks do the three boys need to collect in total?

### Response:
 Mtumbwi wa Gerry unahitaji (36 * 2)/3 = <<36*2/3=24>>24 vijiti.
Mtumbwi wa Simon na Gerry unahitaji vijiti 36 + 24 = <<36+24=60>>60.
Mtumbwi wa Micky unahitaji vijiti 60 + 9 = <<60+9=69>>69.
Hivyo, wavulana wanahitaji kukusanya jumla ya vijiti 60 + 69 = <<60+69=129>>129.
