People with albinism and impressions of a nurse
For the fourth time, the MWANZA association invites you to a Zoom discussion with partners from Mwanza. On Monday, June 21st at 6 p.m. (TZ time), various actors from Mwanza will be heard in German and English: Judith Steigerwald, a nurse who has been in Mwanza for four weeks and who will stay for a whole year to help set up an endoscopy unit, will report on her first experiences. The M.W.A.N.Z.A. is helping to finance this mission of the Medical Mission Institute.
Ramona Seitz, member of the M.W.A.N.Z.A. e.V. and freelance journalist will report on her long-term research on albinism in Tanzania and ask Vicky Ntetema, a human rights activist, and Charmaigne Zainab, the secretary of CBO Color Mwanza, about the current situation about people with albinism. In addition, music projects will be presented and a comic novel as well, which should help to reduce the prejudices of black people in Tanzania against white albinos. Government policy is setting a good example.
Boniventura Toto, the director of HURUMA, an elementary school for children with handicaps, reported about the colourful life of his students and the longtime sponsoring by M.W.A.N.Z.A. e.V.
Other knowledgeable people are present during the conversation and can bring in other aspects.

Gerade noch rechtzeitig vor der Coronakrise Anfang März 2020 kamen die angehenden Abiturient*innen zusammen, um ein Photo des Sportplatzes in Saba Saba entgegenzunehmen, der durch einen Spendenlauf im Jahre 2018 errichtet werden konnte. Organisiert wurde das von Jürgen Seitz (4.v.r.), dem M.W.A.N.Z.A. e.V. – Verantwortlichen für die Sports Charity in Mwanza.
Mit ihm freut sich der Direktor der Schule, OStD Michael Schmitt (5.v.l.) und zwischen ihnen der schulische Hauptorganisator, Sport- und Religionslehrer Andreas Weiermann.
Wenn Corona das zulässt und erst einmal das Abitur geschafft ist, gehen die Jugendlichen als Sportbotschafter für einige Wochen in diesem Sommer in die Partnerstadt Würzburgs, Mwanza. Und wenn es gut geht, wird es am DHG nochmals einen Spendenlauf geben – nächstes Jahr!
