Tabea: Farewell and New Beginning
Tabea Kusongwa-Zuber worked for FCTrelief in Zambia for the last ten years. In 2011 she first visited Zambia and Mwama Foundation, which we used to support (2011-2014)) and Tabea chose to work there. Three years later we decided to start our own Foundation (NGO) in order to work more efficiently and effectively. During this time, all of us had learned a lot about Zambia and the mentality, and we were ready for a new adventure. The first years of building from scratch were a true pioneering work. Tabea was actively helping us and doing a good job. After the birth of her first child five years ago, Tabea reduced her workload to 50% so she could partly work from home doing mainly administration work. In the meantime, there were many changes and the teachers formed a solid team and cared for our pupils during and even outside schooling and work time. Tabea was responsible for their physical health, especially during the Corona pandemic, and organized the health checks with Dr Winnice. She also took care of certain pupils when they had to visit various clinics.
After over ten years of life in Zambia and having made her home there with her family, she can now apply for Zambian citizenship. Tabea decided it was time for her to leave our team and do something else. At the end of June, we gave a farewell party for her and said ‘good-bye’ with gratitude for her years of service. We wish her all the best for the future.
