The Head of DDS Lusaka, Mr Klaus Trifellner, recently visited our students at AWO in Germany who have just arrived from Zambia 🇿🇲 to begin their BFD/FSJ programmes in Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪.

He was warmly welcomed by Mr Andreas Haas, Mrs Gabski, and other representatives of AWO.

Our students were delighted to see Mr Trifellner and shared their first experiences of settling into life in Germany. It was wonderful to hear about their journey, their new workplaces, and how they are adapting to their new environment.

At DDS, our support does not end when our students leave Africa—we remain committed to them throughout their journey as they build successful futures in Germany.

GABRIEL HAGWAGWA IS OFF TO GERMANY‼️

Gabriel Hagwagwa became one of the 9 students who left Zambia 🇿🇲 to begin a Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) programme with our long-time partners, AWO Württemberg, in Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪

Gabriel began his German language journey at DDS Lusaka, where he studied up to B1 level. He recently collected his ÖSD Z-B1 Certificate, which he successfully used as proof of German language proficiency for his visa application at the German Embassy in Lusaka.

The BFD (Bundesfreiwilligendienst) is a special voluntary service programme in Germany which allows young people to live and work in Germany, usually in areas such as healthcare, elderly care, social work, childcare and community service, while gaining valuable international work experience and improving their German language skills. For many students, the BFD becomes the first step towards a long-term future in Germany, often leading to apprenticeships, studies or permanent employment.

Our relationship with AWO Württemberg has been long and fruitful. Just last week, several of our former nursing apprenticeship students graduated after successfully completing their 3-year Ausbildung programmes. We are therefore excited and proud to begin a new chapter together in the field of BFD placements.

Above all, we give all glory and honour to our #KingLordJesusChrist, without whom none of this would be possible. It is He who has opened doors for DDS and for our students. Through His favour, grace and perfect timing, He has made a way for Gabriel and so many others. We truly believe that our #KingLordJesusChrist continues to pour out His blessings upon our students and their journeys to Germany.

We were honoured to join Gabriel and his family in bidding him farewell at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport. It was an emotional and joyful moment as he departed to begin this exciting new chapter of his life in Germany.

Congratulations, Gabriel! We are proud of you and wish you every success in Germany 🇩🇪

NEW LIFE BEGINS IN GERMANY 🇩🇪 FOR PRISCILLA‼️

Priscilla Mulenga is among the 9 students who departed from Zambia 🇿🇲 to start a Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) programme in Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪 with our trusted and long-standing partners, AWO Württemberg.

Priscilla began her German studies at DDS Lusaka and worked steadily through her language levels with great determination and commitment. Along her journey, she made several trips to Zimbabwe in order to sit for her German examinations at ÖSD Harare. She later completed her final B1 certification at the new ÖSD Prüfungszentrum Lusaka, where she obtained her ÖSD Z-B1 Certificate. This certificate was then used as proof of German language proficiency for her visa application at the German Embassy in Lusaka.

The BFD, or Bundesfreiwilligendienst, gives young people the opportunity to travel to Germany and work in social fields such as hospitals, retirement homes, childcare centres and other community organisations. It is not only a chance to gain work experience, but also a valuable pathway into German life, often opening doors to future apprenticeships, studies and long-term opportunities in Germany.

Our cooperation with AWO Württemberg has grown stronger over many years. Only last week, several students who had begun their journeys through our nursing apprenticeship programme completed their 3-year Ausbildung in Germany. We are therefore incredibly excited to see this new BFD chapter begin and to watch students like Priscilla take their next step.

Most importantly, we thank and praise our #KingLordJesusChrist, who has been the foundation of every success story at DDS. Through His grace and favour, Priscilla’s dream has become a reality. Our #KingLordJesusChrist has continued to guide, strengthen and bless our students, making a way where there once seemed to be none.

We were privileged to accompany Priscilla and her family to Kenneth Kaunda International Airport to say our farewells as she left for Germany. It was a proud and emotional moment as she embarked on this exciting new journey.

Congratulations, Priscilla! We are so proud of you and wish you God’s richest blessings as you begin your new life in Germany 🇩🇪

GRACE CHANDA MULENGA- ITS YOUR TIME‼️

Grace Chanda Mulenga is also one of the 9 students who left Zambia 🇿🇲 to begin her Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) programme in Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪 with our valued and long-standing partners, AWO Württemberg.

Grace started her German language journey at DDS Lusaka and worked diligently through her levels until B1. With great perseverance and commitment, she successfully obtained her ÖSD Z-B1 Certificate, which she later used as proof of language proficiency during her visa application at the German Embassy in Lusaka.

Like many of our students, Grace has shown that with determination, discipline and faith, it is possible to achieve your dream of going to Germany. Her journey was not always easy, but she remained focused and continued to work hard towards her goal.

The BFD, or Bundesfreiwilligendienst, is a voluntary service programme in Germany which gives young people the opportunity to live and work in areas such as healthcare, elderly care, childcare and social services. At the same time, students gain valuable international experience, improve their German language skills and often create opportunities for future apprenticeships, studies and long-term careers in Germany.

Above all, we give thanks to our #KingLordJesusChrist, who remains the source of every blessing and every success story at DDS. It is through His grace, favour and perfect timing that Grace has been able to reach this milestone. Our #KingLordJesusChrist has truly poured favour upon our students and has opened doors that once seemed impossible.

We had the privilege of accompanying Grace and her family to Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, where we joined them in saying goodbye as she departed for Germany. It was a moment filled with pride, joy and emotion as Grace began this wonderful new chapter of her life.

Congratulations, Grace! We are incredibly proud of you and we wish you every success and God’s richest blessings as you begin your journey in Germany

THE DREAM IS HERE LIZWELITINI, LIVE IT‼️

Lizwelitini Mwanzah is another of the 9 students who travelled from Zambia 🇿🇲 to begin a new life chapter in Germany 🇩🇪 through the Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) programme with our trusted partners, AWO Württemberg, in Baden-Württemberg.

His journey started at DDS Lusaka, where he enrolled for German lessons and gradually progressed through the different levels. Through hard work, consistency and dedication, Lizwelitini successfully reached B1 level and earned his ÖSD Z-B1 Certificate. This qualification became an important part of his successful visa application at the German Embassy in Lusaka.

The Bundesfreiwilligendienst is a programme that allows young people to spend time in Germany serving in social institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, daycare centres and community projects. It is a valuable opportunity not only to gain practical experience, but also to experience German culture, strengthen language skills and build a foundation for future opportunities such as Ausbildung programmes or long-term work in Germany.

For many years, DDS has enjoyed a strong partnership with AWO Württemberg. Through this cooperation, many students have already been able to build successful futures in Germany. Only recently, several of our former nursing apprenticeship candidates celebrated the completion of their 3-year programmes.

Throughout her journey, Lizwelitini kept believing and never gave up. We know that none of these achievements would have been possible without our #KingLordJesusChrist. He has continued to lead DDS and our students, blessing them with favour, opportunity and strength. We thank our #KingLordJesusChrist for opening this door for Lizwelithini and for allowing his dream to become a reality.

We joined Lizwelitini together with his family at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport to bid his farewell before his departure. It was a very special moment as he left Zambia to begin this exciting new season of his life in Germany.

Congratulations, Lizwelitini! We are so proud of what you have achieved and wish you great success and happiness in Germany

GERMANY AWAITS‼️

Chiuna Mandevu is among the 9 students who departed from Zambia 🇿🇲 to start a Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) placement in Baden-Württemberg 🇩🇪 with our long-standing partner, AWO Württemberg.

Chiuna first joined DDS Lusaka to study German and, through determination and perseverance, progressed all the way to B1 level. After many months of hard work and preparation, Chiuna obtained the ÖSD Z-B1 Certificate, which later served as the official proof of German language ability for the visa application submitted at the German Embassy in Lusaka.

The Bundesfreiwilligendienst is a unique opportunity for young people to live and work in Germany while serving in social institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens and community centres. At the same time, participants gain valuable experience, improve their German even further and often create opportunities for future apprenticeships, jobs or studies in Germany.

Our cooperation with AWO Württemberg stretches back many years and has already changed the lives of many students. Just recently, several of our nursing students completed their 3-year apprenticeship programmes in Germany, and we are delighted that a new group of students is now beginning this exciting BFD journey.

Chiuna’s story is one of patience, commitment and faith. There were challenges along the way, but Chiuna remained focused and continued believing that the dream of going to Germany would one day come true. We know that this success has only been possible because of our #KingLordJesusChrist, who continues to guide DDS and pour out His favour upon our students. Through His grace, Chiuna has been given this incredible opportunity and has now begun a new chapter in life.

We had the privilege of accompanying Chiuna and family to Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, where we said our goodbyes before the journey to Germany began. It was a proud and emotional occasion as Chiuna left Zambia full of hope and excitement for the future.

Congratulations, Chiuna! We are extremely proud of you and pray that our #KingLordJesusChrist blesses and protects you as you begin your new life in Germany 🇩🇪

JONATHAN MWANSA is now in Germany

Jonathan always wanted to develop his career in Germany. This is now a reality after his departure for Sierksdorf, a city in the German state of Schleswig Holstein.

Jonathan has already begun work at Hansapark. The park attracts more than a million visitors each year, making it the fifth largest German amusement park. Stern magazine, in collaboration with the BAT Freizeit-Forschungsinstitut (Leisure Research Institute) tested the ten leading German amusement parks. Hansa-Park scored second place behind Europa-Park overall and first place in the north.

Jonathan joined us for our very first A1 class in August 2024 as a first step towards achieving his dream. He had a very good grip on the German grammar in the early stages of the class and it was quite apparent that he was going to do well. He produced excellent results in his examination and was in his B1 class when he left for Germany.

Our partners at Hansapark interviewed him exclusively in German and he satisfied their requirements and he was given a contract to work for them.

All Zambians with a keen interest in learning German can also follow in Jonathans footsteps and develop their careers in Germany through paid apprenticeship programs, free tuition universities or jobs. This is all possible if one studies the German language. Die Deutsche Schule Lusaka is the leading and most reputable German language school in Zambia .

His family bade him a heartfelt farewell as we joined them, his friends and colleagues. We thank our #LordJesusChrist for the wonderful time that we had with Jonathan and we wish his the very best of success in the federal republic of Germany .
