Mayor Tom Potter heads to Zimbabwe with City Delegation in 2008!
The City of Portland Mayor’s Office partnered with the Portland – Mutare Sister City Association to send a humanitarian delegation to Zimbabwe in October 2008. The delegation will renew the sister city relationship, bring attention to global health issues Zimbabwe’s challenges, and Portland’s response. This historic event marks the first time a Portland Mayor will visit our sister city since the establishment of the relationship in 1991. He will join a delegation of 18 others including local Portland middle and high school students, teachers, health care workers, and dedicated volunteers.
