Good news! We obtained official patronage of the city of Zgierz President!
My recent meeting with the Department of Promotion and Culture of Zgierz resulted in a few exciting outcomes. There will be collections of school materials under the slogan “People of Zgierz for Linda – Zambia” throughout the whole city. From January to May 2020, the residents will be able to support the Action MISSION ZAMBIA in places such as school secretariats, the City of Zgierz Office, the Department of Promotion and Culture and the Cultural Park City of Weavers. The help will also be targeted at the specific equipment most needed in Africa.
The first event of our cooperation was a meeting with a group of over 100 children from Primary School No. 11 in Zgierz (the plan assumed 40 people!). Additionally, we had a guest from Zambia, my friend Everisto, about whose visit I will tell you soon. He brought some of the handmade craft that Beatrice designs and makes in the CreatIWE Home, and he was willingly answering kids’ questions. With words and photos, we told about Linda, the people there and their everyday life. The next was a practical part of the workshop: children were cheerfully trying on African costumes and were attempting to carry as many grass baskets as possible – this task is harder than it may sounds! Of course, there were also plenty of photos with Everisto and Zambian chitenge. Thank you to everyone present for such a joyful commitment to our meeting!
The journalist of the magazine “Zgierz Moja Przestrzeń” was also present at the event and interviewed me about the entire project. Our cooperation with Zgierz looks very promising! I am looking forward to what will happen next 😉
