Like last year, the ZAC e.V. participates in the Open House of the Hans-Sachs-Berufskolleg in Oberhausen and presents the progress of the joint project work.
February 2019
The Hans-Sachs-Berufskolleg under the direction of Dipl. Bau-Ing. Georg Terbeck made a project trip to Lutindi / Tanzania in order to carry out an exact survey of the construction site, to map important trees and to define the ideal site for the children’s village.

Change planning in the ZAC board team. For health reasons, Randolf Jandt resigns from the board team of his own volition.

June 2019
The Grafschafter Lions Club Moers (GLCM) donates to the ZAC e.V. a PAUL-system (Portable Aqua Unit for Lifesaving) for the purification of contaminated drinking water for the elementary school Lutindi, because there were always diseases due to contaminated drinking water. The system will be shipped to Tanzania in June.
June 2019
At this year’s Annual General Meeting, the ZAC Board will report on its past activities in 2018 and the club’s results. The Management Board is unanimously discharged. The proposed amendment is adopted unanimously by the general meeting. This clears the way for the co-option of the three new board members mentioned.

August 2019
Start of the Lutindi Cultivation Cooperative. The ZAC e.V. provides land plots for a total of 30 single-parent women on its own land, finances seeds, farm implements and field shoes, so that women can feed themselves in the future without dependencies and sell possible surpluses on the regional market. The women pick up the work immediately and plant corn in the first step, in the second step, various vegetables are grown.

Start of the first ZAC charity golf tournament. On the initiative of Ronny Jasinski, law firm on the Kaiserberg, Duisburg, and ZAC Vice Thomas Maaßen a golf tournament in favor of the ZAC is aligned on the golf course “Golf & More” in Duisburg Huckingen.

To11:
In the ensuing discussion, the main focus of the debate was on the conditions under which the planned start of construction in 2021 can be maintained in view of the corona pandemic.
Georg Terbeck, member of the Board of Management and teacher at HSBK Oberhausen, has reservations as to whether it will be possible to fly with the delegation to Tanzania as early as February 2021 due to the pandemic, and whether the responsibility for the accompanying technician students can be borne by the delegation. The clarification of this point is urgent and will be on the agenda at the next board meeting, as the start of the construction work is directly dependent on it.
In connection with the planned start of construction, Thomas Maaßen proposed to prepare a forecast for the costs to be approved for the first construction phase and the first year of operation of the Children’s Village at a special board meeting at the beginning of next year. This should also determine which capital security reserves should remain in the association’s account.
Holger Glücks explained the sense of the infrastructural measures carried out so far for the community of Lutindi, which run parallel to our construction plans. On the one hand, he cited the creation of acceptance among the citizens of Lutindi for the Children’s Village project, because with these programs, ZAC e.V. is an important employer in Lutindi. In addition, ZAC e.V. always remains in contact with potential sponsors and supporters with attractive programs and successes and even achieves monetary surpluses through project-related individual donations.
The consultancy contract with Ombeni Peter Ayo, which ends on 31.12.2020, is to be extended for a further two years with an adjustment to the inflation rate in Tanzania.
The Board of Directors thanked the General Meeting for attending on the occasion of the difficult circumstances.
The JHV ended at 21.15 hrs.
signed. Holger Luck
Chairman of the Board
Duisburg, 29.10.2020
