Things are happening. It's fantastic. People are jumping on board all over the place. Literally, from distant places like Canada and Denmark, to 'home', Zimbabwe.
Kwapi (Idaho Coordinator) mentioned a significant mechanism for maximising the effectiveness of the day when we Play for Zimbabwe: take pictures! Even if only a handful of people gather where you are, a single photo can validater your purpose and help in the aftermath by showing we still all love our country and want to represent it now matter how far we travel.
Behind the scenes, planning is ongoing. Venues are being confirmed gradually, and other considerations are being dealt with one by one. These include:
- music (having the sounds of home livens the atmosphere and really adds to the celebratory nature of this event)
- refreshments (again, the flavour of home would be ideal, but otherwise anything to give us energy and a heart-warming feeling)
- publicity (mostly word of mouth, but the net is a powerful mechanism, and posters can be fantastic promotion. If anyone needs the logo emailed to them contact play4zimbabwe@gmail.com )
- security (mainly for the big events, because there's always the potential for people to get worked up. Please note however, this is meant to be an enjoyable event so leave the past where it belongs and bring only your enthusiasm for the future.)
It's amazing to see how united Zimbabweans remains despite the geographical divisions, and this is really going to be the start of something better for the nation.
