Kinderladen Maimouna


The Children's Shop Maimouna can now look back on 25 years of living diversity in Altona Altstadt. It all started in 1985 in Building 3 in the Hospitalstr. Where in the African-German communication center Sokoni matured the idea of establishing a children's store for children with racism experience.
1991, the International Children's Shop in the Blücherstr. opened, three years later moved the offshoot "Maimouna eV" in the Lawaetzweg. driven by speculators, the children moved in 2005 in the shop Maimouna Holstenstr. directly to the green belt. There are 36 children between 3 months and 6 years supervised.
The original idea has remained: a day care center where they are taken with children, parents and staff immigrant welcome and serious. The six teachers who manage Maimouna together as educators initiative and organized look proudly back on the past years, during which there has to overcome several crises. "In particular, the adoption of discriminatory Kita-coupon system of the district, which sent many children home and they only paid no day care place," says Comfort Zarp that knows their Ghanaian Comunity in many cases. In an international team working educators equal footing, learn to appreciate and recognize the different training and experience. In kindergarten the children they live everyday intercultural communication and discussion before with contradictions: diversity as a strength!
"It is not important to be able to specify the number of nationalities" are serviced under one roof ". More important is the openness to diversity and professional management of it, "says Elke Straub, co-founder of the kindergarten.
The Children's Shop Maimouna understood as a political project that demands the Immigration Society, and the emphasis on the education system. At every opportunity, the right to education from the start will be collected for children without documents that exist for policy and youth services and for which there is not even in most schools is still no clear recording. "No child should be made illegal and excluded from education, that is a scandal", stated Barry Gadirou. The educational concept has the potential for self-education of the children wide latitude to design their world, without self-denial, and cultural pressure to conform. The multilingual support contributes significantly to: mother tongue, yes please! In addition to the areas of education movement, music, role play, building and construction, and natural and cultural environment, the area of creative work, "a high priority in the education of the children's store.

Gestaltendes thinking allows the child to his inner images, which has won it from concrete action experience felt in various ways to creatively by - an important step on the way for abstract thinking, as is provided in the school. Accordingly find the children in the studio material that challenges them to express themselves artistically.

in the village of Salcaja / Guatemala

In fact, it is almost a small village. With a mere children's home situated on a hill, this beautiful place has virtually nothing in common. It will offer a fantastic views of the whole countryside. The nearest major city is just 20 minutes drive away.

Upon arrival, you pass through a first gateway, from where it is still a good 300 meters is relatively steep hill. In this case you already get the village's own hospital. As I would later learn some pride from the Head, where all children are regularly inspected and treated to ensure their health and health development. A true "luxury" that here may allow only a few.
After a brief explanation of the function and funding of the Foundation in the office of the Director, it goes on a detailed tour of the property.
the children standing next to a School, kindergarten, computer labs and various workshops for various skilled trades, a well-equipped large kitchen with its own bakery full catering available. In addition to the residents of the village, even children in need get a free meal from the environment. The most important part of the village, however, are the 17 houses which can accommodate up to 10 children with a foster mother square. During my visit I could see you one of my customers last year, which was fully booked with 167 children, where close to complete.
The prevailing atmosphere there, which is characterized by the constellation of children of any age, is very pleasant. If the children do not sit obediently in class, they play left out on the vast grounds of the orphanage.
When you look into their smiling faces, one would never suspect the hard blows of fate, the children had to plug in already. Impressive is also that they receive instead of meaningless material gifts of education and social skills to prevent it from slipping as many of their fellow citizens from Guatemala in you crime. The project is fully funded by the Foundation's Children's Future. But small donations through third parties and partners from Germany properties incorporated. children future, since the empty state coffers are not capable of the Children's Village to support financially. During a visit at the orphanage, you will immediately become an active helper himself, as we understand that the assistance is to have 100% of the children. Moreover, it quickly becomes apparent that the large own problems in comparison to those of little children are nothing. In the foundation's eight employees work Full-time (three part-time) and a large volunteer base to support the team in the office, at events and meetings. Under these impressions, this has also encouraged me to become active as a donor. More info at www.kinderzukunft.de
