12.09.2011 - German Embassy donates sport equipment to Vision of the Youth

On Monday 12 September 2011 the German Embassy in Namibia donated rugby and cricket equipment to the Vision of the Youth / Support the Dream in Namibia. The equipment is to be used for Vision of the Youth projects in Erongo and Khomas.

The aim of these community-based projects is the raising of the awareness for the positive contribution of sport activities, especially carried out by the youth, within society and the identification and development of sport talents in view of future competitions at different levels.

The equipment was handed over to representatives of the Vision of the Youth, Manuel ‘Lito’ Carballo, Angelica Bergmann and Barbara Bergmann, by André Scholz, the Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy in Namibia.

The donation by the Federal Foreign Office was made within the framework of its sports promotion programme which supports the development of sport in Namibia by, amongst others, seconding sport experts, donating sport equipment and offering training courses for coaches at various sport schools and universities in Germany.
