Bambiriada 2014

Two weeks ago there was a huge event in our small town, this article has been delayed a little because i've been in the mid-term training and also into a small vacation in Czech Republic and Poland. The event was held for two days in the main square of Český Těšín, were treated in different information stands on the different associations for the children that there are in the area.

From Střep, OS AVE, we decided not only to report on our program and services, we also offered different games so that children will enjoy for a while of our daily work in our center.

The first activity was a puzzle with our new logo, with pieces of wood that we paint with the help of children who regularly visit the center. It turned out to be an activity that liked it a lot and where we also had to help a lot since it was more complicated than expected, but it was a group activity, which shows our everyday work, try to collaborate between them is one of my aims with the activity that began this month and that I will write later.

The second activity was the coloring logo to hang on the side of our house or take it home as a souvenir. 

It was a perfect opportunity to sit more quietly with the children, learn something from Czech and a bit of explaining what we do in Strep, which we are a center for leisure time and where they can go daily and join our programs and activities.

The third and last activity change different days, from guiding your partner in a tour to memorize different numbers and letters to pass the test, also in a time of Saturday we changed the activity of the puzzle to fit a tower between four children, a game very collaborative and entertaining, you can see a photo below.

Once the children had made the three activities you sealed the box of AVE in cardstock where appeared all the posts of the fair.
This type of local performances are much appreciated in cities like Český Těšín that have their streets filled with children eager to play. As a volunteer these two days not only had the opportunity to improve my level of Czech also to learn a little about the people and customs of my new city.

I recommend everyone to go to these activities and remind you that this weekend we celebrate the party of the creation of Cesky Tesin and Cieszyn stands in the two main squares of this unique city, two countries in one city, two cities in one.
