Dear EWE Teams in Zambia and Germany,

I hope that you are all in good health and I wish you all the best for this
new year, success in all what you begin and continue to do.

On our German side we are reflecting since december the general conditions
to receive again new  zambian volunteers. In december the corona situation
was rather good in Germany, but in our neighbour countries the number of
infected persons increased rapidly. This reached us now too, although a
good percentage is vaccinated. We have new records of infected persons!
I talked about that to Katharina from SDFV who is responsable for the
working places since last year. She thinks that it will be very difficult
to find working places, the disappointing experience with the hospital in
Düren last year is still in our mind (we had 5 volunteers there in the
years before with good results and last year they did not want to take a
volunteer)...

This is one side of our reflections, the other is how to accompany and
prepare the volunteers and how to find host families. We thought that it
will be easier in Aachen to find families but it was difficult.
Silja and Evans are the young ones who accompany Margaret and Judith, but
Silja finishes her formation this year and will work as a midwife perhaps
in another town. Evans is finishing the first part  of his studies and
wants to go home for some months before going on.
So Guido and I decided together that we want to have a time-out for the
next generation of zambian volunteers to find new inspiration and hopefully
new committed young people (as Guido said in his last mail from the 24th of
december).

I hope that you can understand our decision, we want to do a good work on
our side as you do in Zambia.

Keep all well and stay in good health
Irmela

Dear Guido 

 

Greetings to you and the ewe team.  It is our prayer and hope that you are allkeeping safe and in good health.  Thetimes have drastically changed since the coming of covid.  The social aspect of humans has also beenaffected terribly as there cannot be any physical contact for fear ofcontracting the deadly and stubborn pandemic. This has for sure put the way of living upside down.  It is always our hope that a solution can befound so that life goes back to normal and we can live freely as social beings.

 

Reverting to your reflection on ewe, itis true that the past two years have not been as friendly as the past ones. Somuch changed due to the pandemic.  Justat the time we were set and ready to send the volunteers for 2020 then the atmospherechanged, of course it was something beyond our control, and the exchange wascancelled, the expectant and motivated volunteer could not take part in theintercultural exchange.  This was done inthe interest of everyone; an objective decision had to be arrived at.  Much as this was a good move, it came withits consequences, especially when it came to finding work placements by theSDFV and host families, like you put it. However, the tireless commitment of Irmela and her team cannot beoverlooked for sure.  They have alwaysbeen on the ground to do the best whole heartedly.

 

On our end, the beginning of 2021 was coveredwith a dark cloud due to the demise of the Bishop, Mr. Solomon Phiri and Marialater in the year (MTSRIP).  Their inputin ewe remains a story which will always be told in their honor.  It was at a time we did not anticipate thatanyone of them would answer the heavenly call and leave this earth forgood.  It was not so easy to pick upourselves as a team and continue with the race as a department.  The gap was big to fill up immediately.  Nonetheless, the team spirit and cohesivenesssaw us through the thick clouds and there was light again.  The team in Zambia did its best to see to itthat the spirit and light of ewe was kept alive until the time when Fr. ZuluPhilemon was assigned to take care of the affairs of the department.  Together we shall for sure keep, rekindle thehope and let the ewe spirit continue in the Diocese.  For the first time we had to conduct theselection of the Zambian volunteers virtually. Though it worked out, it was a direction which was dictated by the newnormal way of living where gatherings are restricted time and again.  Through all this kind of atmosphere wemanaged to send two volunteers to Germany for the 2021/2022 experience and weindeed look forward to welcoming Johana to Zambia.  We hope that nothing will come in the way sothat this intervention to materialize. 

 

Despite the denied physical partnermeeting the past two year, we were still privileged to interact virtually, thisinitiative brought us together and the future of the program could still beaddressed appropriately.  It is our hopethat Schulfee project will stabilize under the care of the ewe team.  We are so thankful that the family and friendsof Maria decided to honor her with a donation towards the support of Schulfee.

 

The past two years where not easy but we,both teams, worked to the best of our abilities to come this far and for surewe can say that we were successful.

 
As the Zambian team we continue lookingforward to a health and fruitful partnership and we wish everyone on the ewe crew a fruitfull, health, joyous and peaceful year ahead.
Till then
Regards
Agnes on behalf of the ewe Zambian Team

 Dear ewe Board, dear ewe Team in Zambia,
The past year brought many upheavals, farewells, challenges and new 
beginnings for all of us.
Unfortunately, we were not able to send any German volunteers due to the 
pandemic situation. And we have noticed that other providers of 
international voluntary services are also having increasing difficulties 
in filling the available positions, as these are already particularly 
highly motivated young people who accept the challenges of an 
intercultural learning and exchange year in a foreign culture. However, 
it is precisely these that we want to address and sustainably involve in 
our partnership.
On the one hand, the Zambian volunteers' placement in Aachen opens up a 
new environment and new placement sites for our work; on the other hand, 
we have to find, motivate and accompany new host families in this 
environment. I would especially like to thank the tireless Irmela for 
her patience and creativity. Our special concept of integrating Zambian 
volunteers in German host families is observed with interest by other 
organisations and the expertise of Irmela, Silja and Evans is gladly 
accepted in the SDFV.
The death of Solomon Phiri and Maria Wiertz, two people who have shaped 
and accompanied the One World Engagement, was particularly painful for 
us. They will remain in our memories.
The vacancy in the Zambian team was filled well and with commitment by 
Agnes and George. With the entry of Father Philemon Zulu as Director of 
Caritas Monze, the personnel foundation for a trusting and sustainable 
cooperation of the German and Zambian ewe is now complete again.
Due to the pandemic situation, we have not had any board meetings or 
partner visits for 2 years, but video conferencing has significantly 
improved our communication.
After I left the student chaplaincy in the KHG-Aachen, the project work 
in the ewe got a new and successful impulse by taking over the project 
Schoolfee-Zambia, which was previously administered there. Thanks to 
Lukas, who as co-initiator of Schulfee-Sambia now continues this task in 
the ewe. On the occasion of her death, Maria's relatives and friends 
supported this work with a large donation, entirely in her spirit.
Next year we will finally be able to send another volunteer to Zambia. 
Selection, accompaniment and administration of this service is a great 
challenge for us volunteers. Thanks to Helen and Yoko for their tireless 
commitment. From the coming sending year, Monika will also have a new 
task in accompanying the parents.
The work in both teams in Germany and Zambia needs new committed young 
people who, as former volunteers, live the idea of ewe and are committed 
to shaping intercultural exchange. In the new year, Helen and I will 
therefore launch a commitment initiative among the former volunteers.
Together we have tackled the challenges of this year as ewe in Germany 
and Zambia with a lot of commitment and successfully. Thank you all very 
much for that!
Our commitment is to work for a more just and loving world - or as the 
United Nations has named it as a global development goal - the good life 
for all people in the "common home" (Pope Francis).

These days we celebrate Christmas, the feast of the Incarnation. May 
this world become a little more human in the coming year through the 
commitment of all of us.

I wish you all, your families and the people who are important to you a 
blessed Christmas and a healthy, happy and peaceful New Year.

Guido

Dear Althea and family,
Solomon passed away one year ago and we are still grieving over this 
loss. We miss his advice, his commitment to the common goals in the ewe 
and his supportive friendship. We will always remember him.
During these days, our thoughts and prayers are also with you and we

Stay healthy and be blessed

Lieber Vorstand,

gestern hatten Irmela und ich ein vom sambischen Team angefragtes 
Gespräch zu den Freiwilligendiensten outgoing und incoming. Insbesondere 
wollten sie die Hintergründe für das einjährige Aussetzen des Incoming 
Dienstes erläutert wissen.

Mit dabei war als "Hospitantin" Aline, die gerne als Ehemalige sich 
wieder im ewe engagieren möchte und z.Zt. sich einen Überblick über 
unsere derzeitigen Aktionsbereiche verschafft.

In dieser Woche erreichte uns auch der Jahresbericht zum Schulfeeprojekt 
, den Ihr im Anhang im Original und in der automatischen Übersetzung findet.

Lukas wird diesen für unsere Öffentlichkeitsarbeit aufarbeiten.

Hier eine doodle-Umfrage für ein zeitnahes Vorstandstreffen 
https://doodle.com/poll/6zuf6b7tzttaqxat?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Herzliche Grüße und ein erholsames Wochenende

Guido

Dear Irmela and the EWE team in Germany,
Hope you are doing well.
We are doing fine and receiving good rains recently despite isolated areas
affected by floods. We just opened our offices today.

We receive your decision on the time-out with a heavy heart though filled
with hope and anticipation that this reflection will result into a renewed
and rejuvenated team on your side.

We are so grateful for the interaction in the area of cultural exchange and
how it has benefited our young people.

However, in order to have a deeper understanding and to be able to be on
the same page, we (EWE team in Zambia) are requesting for a zoom meeting.
May you let us know if it's possible and when it can take place!

Keep healthy and stay blessed always.
