People who left Zimbabwe for other lands came home last week. They met in Harare to share business ideas and get praise for their good work.
Leaders awarded those who did great things overseas and thanked them for sending money back home and starting new jobs.
"We love seeing our people come back," said Blessed Kapesa, who leads a group for Zimbabweans living abroad. "Many groups came to support us, even the government."
The meeting showed how these far-away citizens help their old homes grow. They send cash to families and make new companies that give people work.
Cities and towns shared ways to invest money in Zimbabwe. People told stories about doing well in other places but still helping at home.
"Our land needs its people to make it better," Kapesa said. He wants more folks to bring their skills back when they visit during holidays.
The event helped people share fresh thoughts. "Living far makes it hard to help our towns," said Kapesa. "Here, we brought together money people, builders, and others who want to make things better."
One winner, Bevan Makaka, runs a shipping company in America. "This award makes me want to work harder," he said. His helper said the event let him meet many useful people.
The government promised to back these overseas workers more. "They help our money grow strong," a state worker said. "We must help them help us."
This big meeting proved how important far-away citizens are. Zimbabwe wants their help to make the country rich and strong.
