MSOMI WA IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL

Mheshimiwa Riziki Shahari Mngwali alizaliwa tarehe 6 Mei 1960 kisiwani Mafia. Inataka uwe karibu yake kwa muda mrefu ndiyo uelewe uwezo aliojaaliwa na Mola wake. Ukimsikia akizungumza Kiswahili na ukiona haiba yake haitakujia hata kama huyu mwanamama aliye mbele yako ana ulimi wa kuzungumza lugha ya Kiingereza kwa hali ambayo si ya kawaida. Achilia mbali kuwa kichwani kwake amehifadhi shahada tatu moja kutoka Chuo Kikuu Cha Dar es Salaam na mbili kutoka Marekani, itakushangaza pia utakapomsikia anazungumza Kifaransa.
