by Median from Zambia   On the 6th June 2024 we had a city run. The run consisted of of many different companies and churches, about 3000 people took place in the run, starting from the phoenix west and leading over asphalt roads and footpaths along the Elias railway line.The route then circled around the phoenix lake and the return route leads along the industrial area back to phoenix square. It was a great opportunity for us volunteers to attend such a huge event, for it is not only for our organizations but also for the the betterment of our health. It was great experience that during the run , I was one of the best runners completing 6.7 km in 43 minutes.

From cultural norms to everyday behaviors, many aspects of life in Germany are distinctly different from those in India.
