Many Zimbabweans grappled with adjusting to the first Covid-19 lockdown back in March 2020, but Kurai Tinoziva Mukaro volunteered to teach school syllabuses and music lessons to young children in his neighbourhood for free when schools were closed.
Mukaro mobilised the more than 70 primary school children from his classes to clear mountains of garbage at a community soccer field and to grow vegetables while keeping the environment clean.
Known in his community as “Uncle Bravo”, Mukaro and his pack now distribute fresh produce from their community garden project to vulnerable and elderly people in the area.
Realising the great need for sustainable food sources in the growing and predominantly poor urban population, Mukaro extended the community garden project to at least 100 households.

As US Vice President, Biden traveled to three African countries in 2010 whereas Donald Trump did not set foot in Africa once during his presidency
On his first day in office, Joe Biden repealed the Trump administration s 2017 immigration restriction, known as the Muslim ban, on travel and visas for citizens of predominantly Muslim countries. The list would grow to include 13 nations.
