Music instruments
All in all, we have shipped and distributed over 500 instruments to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi since 2007. On our trips we offer music rehearsals in various places and see that the instruments are revised. In Zimbabwe and Malawi we have also trained people to be able to overhaul instruments themselves.
Attached is a report from the Unisono booklet by Monika Meier, who is working on instrument repairs for SwiZimAid in Africa: Unisono
Music camps
Every 2 to 4 years we finance, organize and lead a music camp in Zimbabwe with a team from Switzerland. Our last music camp was organized in Malawi. Enclosed are reports from the different music camps:
