Saidi’s personal hero is his father, and he lives by the quote, “The sun will shine to those who stand before its shine.” He loves chatting with coworkers during lunchtime and finds joy in the kindness of Friends House residents, which kept him here longer than he planned. Outside work, Saidi actively supports the Tanzanian community. We are grateful for his hard work and dedication! #EmployeeSpotlight #ThankYouSaidi #FriendsHouseFamily
