SEND A STELLAR 10,000 COURSE GRAD TO TM TEACHER TRAINING
YOU HELPED HIM TO BEGIN
Last year, thanks to your generosity, 50 young African TM teachers, Sidhas, and meditators made their way to the historic 10,000 Course in India. You raised $50,000 and helped sparked something lasting.
One of those you helped send was Elias Ng’aboli Ndaserwa—a thoughtful, grounded Maasai leader from northern Tanzania. He returned with a full heart and a clear purpose.
This year, you can help him take the next step.
Every gift since reaching that $50,000 threshold is helping send Elias to the TM Teacher Training Course in Thailand this September.
With $18,500 needed for tuition, travel, and basic support, your contribution will help him return as a certified teacher—ready to share what you made possible.
Patrick—one of East Africa’s most experienced TM teachers—calls Elias:
“One of the Best Candidates I’ve Worked With.”
Elias returned transformed—with clarity, confidence, and a deeper purpose. In his own words:
“This course has truly made a difference in my life—and I know it will eventually make a difference in the world and on our African continent.
"Through the TM and TM-Sidhi programs, the Maharishi Effect will enhance the influence of coherence and positivity across both our society and our environment.”
He’s can hardly wait to take the next step to become a certified TM teacher. Please help Elias to attend the next TTC Course inThailand this fall.
The Window Is Now
Elias has been nominated and accepted as a candidate into this five-month TM Teacher Training Course He’s already completed the Home Learning Program and is currently in Uganda finishing his TM-Sidhis course.
