School for Africa
In November 2017 Rostock’s City Run e.V. laid the foundation stone for a new extension building of the Maasai College in the middle of the Maasai area near Arusha. That means that in addition to the 60 boys and girls even more can now take part in education projects. Over the next few years Rostock’s City Run e.V. in cooperation with the Hubert & Renate Schwarz Foundation wants to invest a large amount of the donations in the college and a primary school. The sportsmen and sportswomen of Rostock have now found an important partner for their projects in the Gymnasium Reutershagen. The initiator of the project, Roman Klawun, said ‘The students in Rostock are very dedicated and help us with the communication with Africa and also have their own projects there.’ The founder and owner of one of the most successful sport and event agencies in the region sees a further advantage. ‘The young people both in Tanzania and here in Rostock soon realise that a lot can be achieved through using one’s own initiative and motivation.’ In the first year of the project 10,000 Euros could be raised for the college extension. Now investments are being made into solar systems, computer technology and sport facilities. An online shop is being set up to market t-shirts ‘Design made in Tanzania’. ‘The students should realise that they can develop the project further with their own ideas and activities’, says Janet Weigel a teacher at the gymnasium (grammar school) and a representative of the student association in the school in Reutershagen. Her colleague and sport teacher Nora von Lukowicz knows that the city run in Rostock and its associated sponsorships have really motivated the students and created enthusiasm. ‘ As soon as the Rostock flag along with Arusha’s town symbol had been handed over and then hung up in our school, there was no stopping us. We are the first school with a school we sponsor in Tanzania’, said the involved teacher. The association Rostocker Citylauf e.V is committed to starting the new school building.’ We want to succeed in achieving long-term support along with our partners. The same goes for the students in the Maasai College in Tanzania and in Reutershagen.’ explains Roman Klawun from the Rostock City Run Association.
