In the next days, besides competing in their events, students and advisors had the opportunity to network with their peers, attend workshops and exhibits, vote for national officers, and watch the final rounds of live events. The 2019 NLC ended with the Awards of Excellence. Maureen Mwasongwe, a junior at Shaaban Robert Secondary School, received 9th Place in Introduction to Public Speaking. After their long journey to their home countries, the Tanzanian delegation was greeted and interviewed by the press at the airport in Dar es Salaam.
