<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ewe team in Zambia,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tonight, at the ewe's general meeting,
we will have to make a statement on the future of the
ewe's voluntary services in Germany and Zambia.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As this is of great importance for our
cooperation, which has existed for almost 30 years, and
has implications for the joint organisation of our
partnership with Caritas of the Diocese of Monze, we would
like to send you this declaration at the same time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On 14 January this year, we already
described the difficult situation for incoming Zambian
volunteers and the low level of interest in outgoing
German volunteers to Zambia.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The background to this was the lack of
interested and suitable candidates for a voluntary year
with the ewe (and its special concept of cultural
integration via families) in Zambia. In addition, the
political framework conditions had changed (significant
savings in the funding programmes and considerable
administrative effort in accounting and quality
standards). <br>
As a purely voluntary organisation, we had reached the
limits of our capacity - financially and especially in
terms of personnel. <br>
The incoming programme for Zambian volunteers was also at
risk in terms of its essential framework conditions (host
families, accompanying the volunteers, contribution to the
costs of the placement, arbitrary visa allocation, the
Zambian candidates' unwillingness to learn German
intensively as an everyday language of communication and
the latent everyday racism in our German society). In
addition, there were annual cuts of over 50 million euros
in the so-called voluntary domestic services, meaning that
the number of posts had to be significantly reduced. <br>
<br>
The Executive Board's decision to remain in the weltwärts
funding programme had to be made by 31 May of this year,
as recertification was required, which alone costs €5,000,
plus the volunteer time of around 60 working hours for the
necessary adaptation and adjustment to a new quality
criteria and documentation system. <br>
Among other things, a decision had to be made by today for
the incoming area, as Irmela, who has been responsible for
this area for many years, is definitely leaving and no
foreseeable successor is guaranteed. See also above for
the general conditions. <br>
<br>
After almost 30 and 25 successful years of intercultural
volunteer exchanges with the special concept, the Board
has therefore decided to end these ewe projects and will
bring this to the attention of the General Assembly. <br>
<br>
The new board to be elected by the members this evening
will reflect on the successful volunteer work of the past
almost 30 years in intercultural exchange with Zambian and
German young people with you the ewe-Team in Zambia and
recognise its importance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the area of project work, we will
try to expand the School Fee - project and, if necessary
and possible, realise further development projects,
particularly in the education and training sector with our
partners in Zambia.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We very much regret this necessary
decision, but see no responsible option.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With thoughtful and sad regards for the
ewe Board </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guido </p>
