Dear friends of Kubatana network,

Austria Zimbabwe Friendship Association AZFA is happy to learn that the Zimbabwean NGO and civil society network Kubatana.net has been awarded an Honorary mention at Prix Ars Electronica´s 2005 digital communities category - out of several hundred submissions from all over the world. Congratulations!

Kubatana is providing not only vital information for everyone who is working for human and social development or for civic education and human rights in Zimbabwe and the region. Kubatana is also a source of encouragement and morale support. We understand such international recognition as support for your ambitions and efforts. A luta continua!

When we submitted the Tonga.Online project www.mulonga.net at Prix Ars Electronica in 2002 we have also got an Honorary mention award. In 2004 we made it for an Award of Distinction and some price money. So we wish you strength and resilience to carry on and to make further steps in raising attention and backing for your noble cause.
