Dósa Szelina: Egy Új Nap

2020/07/28

Nagy lelkesedéssel indultam a budakeszi Prohászka Gimnáziumba, hiszen ez volt az első élményem a Taita Alapítvánnyal.
Sok tüneményes gyerekcsapat élvezte a tábor különféle programjait, amelyeket kiegészítettek a kézműves foglalkozások, a dráma- és zenés játékok, valamint az előadások Afrikáról. A gyerekek, kicsik és nagyok egyaránt figyelmesek, szófogadók és tündérien aranyosak voltak. A gyerektömeg beözönlött a terembe - ami nagyon kedves hangulatú volt, tele hangszerekkel, képekkel -, és kíváncsian figyelték az előadásom Afrikáról. Amilyen lelkesen érkeztem előadást és drámajátékot tartani, olyan érdeklődéssel fogadott a sok kedves kis szempár.

  • Gyerekek, tudjátok-e hány ember él ezen a bolygón?
  • Én tudom, több, mint... SZÁZ!

From my childhood on, it was our family’s habit to say: "Let’s not throw this away, it might be good for something." Which, of course, resulted in an immeasurable mass of thrash; on the other hand, this mess also turned into a field of creativity. We constructed innumerable do-it-yourself tools, if we happened to be short of any chance to get the original of something. Of course, I wasn’t always proud of doing this – and yet, somehow, these are beautiful memories. It was precisely for this reason that for me, Kenya was heaven on earth, a place where recycling takes on a fantastic form. Sure, it is annoying that all this is partly the result of below-par infrastructure, but it is uplifting to see what beauties can be born out of things that for convenience’s sake, we generally consider…

It Is Good To Be a Volunteer... - Veronika Kővágó

Veronika Kővágó It Is Good To Be a Volunteer...

2019/10/15

On Oct 15, at the Dr. Török Béla Általános Iskola (Primary School), I gave a presentation describing my volunteering activity that I completed in the Taita Foundation’s Bura Orphanage. The lecture was one of the programs within the thematic week that the school organized, centered around volunteering.

I recounted to the school’s hearing-impaired students where Kenya is situated, why I chose that very spot to travel to as a volunteer, and what kind of tasks I had out there in the orphanage.

The students listened to me attentively and with great interest throughout the lecture, and several of them took the courage to ask their questions. I was very happy that I managed to engage their attention to such an extent, and that they were so curious about my account.

This Is Africa! – Community day

On Sep 29, 2019, on a wonderful sunshiny day, Stefánia Palota (Stefánia Palace) hosted the community day This Is Africa! where, once again, Taita Foundation was present. At our booth, visitors had an opportunity, among others, to gain familiarity with our job, while in exchange of donations, they had the chance to buy various handcrafted ornamental objets d'art, jewelry, gifts, coffee and tea; we also prepared a set of quiz questions, and those who answered the questions correctly received candies.

For me, this was the first exhibition-volunteering-job, and it was a positive experience to see how many people are curious about the Foundation’s activity, as well as being interested in the children and Africa. In my opinion, it is a huge…

My first volunteering experience

I am Dóra Göncző, 24 years old; just a few days after joining the Foundation, I already had the opportunity to take part in a volunteering job here in Hungary: with Taita, we held a handicraft workshop with games and competitions for the kiddies of the Pilis Gyermekotthon (Pilis Children’s Home) in Terény

I was very happy about this event, since I am a big fan of children, and always got on well with them. The idea that considering their age, they are mentally and physically a bit backward, as well as the fact that the most of them grow up without parents, scared me a bit at first, but I like challenges, so I registered immediately.

The night before, I could hardly sleep; I had a lot of questions fomenting in me. How will I find common ground with them, what feelings…
