🇩🇪 Ambassador Udo Volz visited Mutare 🇿🇼 for the first time this week where he met with Mayor Blessing Tandi and also spent time at two small-scale projects in and around Mutare that are financed by the Embassy.

The Kuda Vana orphanage recieved a solar ☀ powered water 💧pump that has been sustainably irrigating 💦 its own vegetable gardens.🌱🌽🥕 For more information, see their website www.kudavana.org

With Embassy support the Tinevimbo Sakubva Presbyterian Life Skills Training Centre is extending their facility which focuses on tailoring and sewing 👕👚 training. The initiative led by Rev. Ruzivo will enhance the number of courses on offer aimed at helping vulnerable youth to increase their chances at finding employment.

Ambassador Volz also visited director Elizabeth Muusha at the National Gallery - Mutare which displays works of local artists in a beautiful setting.👩🏽‍🎨🎨

🎉 We are celebrating 25 years of the city partnership between Harare and Munich from Sep 3 to 5 with lots of music 🎼🎸🪘
The line up from Zimbabwe includes Blessing Bled Chimanga, Hope Masike, Dudu Manhenga, Pamuzinda Marimba and others !
Due to circumstances we will be able to join this World Music Festival only online, but a public viewing at the Jasen Mphepo Little Theatre -JMLT is planned 👍🏼
For more info see below 👇🏽

This year is the 25th anniversary of the city twinning between Munich and Harare. We celebrate this on the weekend from September 3 to 5 with a major music festival!

- The twin cities introducing themselves musically
- High-class lineup of 17 artists and bands
Music from jazz to rock, from folklore to classical
- Storytelling
- All concerts streaming online
- Public viewing in participating venues depending on corona situation

Due to the pandemic, our MUHAG 2021 festival can only happen online. We are turning this restriction into an opportunity: Online we can feature a mixed programme with 9 bands from Harare and 8 from Munich – and show it in both cities! Something that would be impossible to arrange with live performances. So whether you prefer to watch our concerts at home at your desired time, with friends in the garden, or at a public viewing nearby, we wish you’ll enjoy them to the fullest!

Today is World Humanitarian Day
Crises, armed conflicts or natural disasters - in many countries, people need rapid support. Germany is the world's second largest humanitarian aid donor. The aim is to ensure that people in need can live in dignity. In doing so, we fund neutral, impartial, independent aid organisations that act in accordance with the principles of humanity. In 2020, we provided 2.5 billion US dollars for projects in 64 countries. This has enabled aid organisations to support Syrian refugees and improve the drinking water supply for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, for example.

#OnThisDay in #Germany: It is 60 years ago today that East German security forces sealed off the sector border in #Berlin. The crossing from East to West was blocked, the city divided into two halves for mare than 28 years, and by 1989 at least 140 people had lost their lives. Today, we are remembering the victims of the #BerlinWall.
Let us also keep in our thoughts those who have been separated by around 70 walls that have been erected in the past years such as in Mexico, Spain, Korea and countless other countries. Walls are normally constructed to separate and therefore symbolize division. Freedom should be protected and not taken for granted. #freedom #liberty #unite 🕊️

🐘🐘🐘 Its Elephant Day today 🐘🐘🐘
The largest land animals face a permanent threat due to deforestation and poaching. Today is dedicated to spread awareness about preservation and protection of those gentle giants.
Whereas the population in Africa is dwindling dangerously, it is steadily increasing here. Zimbabwe hosts the second largest elephant population on earth.
Let us hope and pray that sensible solutions are found and concerted efforts are undertaken to ensure the survival of this magnificent and majestic creature 🙏🏼

Happy World Elephant Day! 🐘 Pictured: An elephant in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania.

The German Embassy in Harare joins in mourning the passing of both Helen Leiros and her husband Derek Huggins -two iconic figures in the Zimbabwean art community who contributed much to the arts industry. May they rest in peace. 💐

Only a few days after losing Helen Leiros, her husband Derek Huggins has also been taken from us. Derek opened the Gallery Delta in 1975 to promote contemporary paintings and together with Helen, contributed immensely to the arts community.
