Residing in foreign lands, outside of Zimbabwe
has changed me a lot, and therefore I am not your typical Zimbabwean, although
I am Zimbabwean 😊 I belong to the new age.😏
I am a modernist who loves travelling, swag
and learning new languages. Those who don’t adapt to the changing world are
left behind. I love big cities and populous countries where you have a high chance
of getting what you want. I love small towns, coastal towns and small countries
where the pace of life is slow, the atmosphere is relaxed, the environment is orderly,
streets are crispy clean and night time is safe.
I love towns where people are proud, content
and not overly ambitious, where it’s rare to see a beggar in the streets, where
everybody keeps up with trends and dressing styles.
Your home doesn't have to be an ugly shack or
mud house just because you are poor. Proud people are always proud of their surroundings,
and conscious of their looks no matter the situation. They have neat homes and
neat attire. They respect the public, they respect themselves, they respect public
facilities (i.e. Vandalism and slums are absent).

Dear Sir, Madam,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find a good masculine African/Shona dog name for the Rhodesian Ridgeback (male) I am about to get.
14 years ago I had help from a translator on Harare but his e-mail address is not in use anymore, and the automatic internet translations don’t have all the words I am looking for.
I am looking for a name that means something cool in English and also sounds cool in Shona but that is difficult: I cannot find a Shona translation for every word I think of, ór the Shona translation of a word sounds female or is impossible to use if you want your dog to listen 😉 like Mugariri (protector).
Maybe you can help me with the translation of a couple of these words:
General (from the army)
Hunter
Defender
Partner or Friend (Shamwari, I remembered form 14 years ago, but nor very suited for a male dog)
Charger (attacker, not a charger for batteries)
Challenger
Good man
Reliable friend
Best friend
Maybe you might have one or two suggestions?
I look forward to your reply! You can reach me at Beaushumba@hotmail.com
Best regards,
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI’m an editor of an educational publication called CultureGrams, which is seeking someone with experience in Zimbabwe for a paid project. I’m hoping that a member of your staff might be able to assist me in locating someone.
CultureGrams is a series of more than 200 country-specific reports that describe people's daily life and culture. The audience consists primarily of North American students and educators.
We are currently seeking someone to review our two preexisting Zimbabwe reports (written for two different age groups) by commenting on their accuracy and providing any information that is missing. Reviewers receive a one-time payment of $400.
No professional writing experience is required. We ask only that reviewers be current or recent residents of the country (preferably a native of the country with at least 2.5 years of full-time residency in the last 4 years), have a college degree (or equivalent education), fluently speak the country's official language or a major national language, and have had experience in more than one region of the country and with people of different socioeconomic levels.
I’d be grateful if you could let me know of anyone who might be interested in this project. Applicants should email me (rita.safranek@proquest.com) a brief description of how they meet the above qualifications. More information on CultureGrams is available at http://www.proquest.com/products-services/culturegrams.html.
Sincerely,
Rita Safranek
