Colônia Solidária 2016: brincar é coisa séria

Em 2004 o local foi vendido e a interrupção da atividade, que se demonstrou tão importante na vida de muitas pessoas, foi um choque. Dois anos depois surge um impulso de antigos monitores e frequentadores das colônias, sempre apaixonados e lembrando as incríveis vivências que tiveram ali na sua infância e adolescência, na intenção de oferecer essa riqueza para crianças de três instituições instaladas em comunidades carentes de São Paulo: a Horizonte Azul, o Pequeno Principe e o Lapidário. Acontecia a primeira Colônia Solidária!

O pastor Zimpel foi quem mais se dedicou às colônias de crianças, curso de monitores ou encontros de jovens, colônias musicais, mas todos os outros pastores por mais ou menos tempo se dedicaram a esta atividade: Gunther Koellert, Douglas Thackrey, Marcus Piedade, Renato Gomes, Verônica Zamalloa. A idéia era que este pudesse ser usado para “colônias de férias”, acampamentos para as crianças que, já naquela época, tinham pouco contato com a natureza. 

Já temos alguns parceiros de longa data aos quais somos muito gratos como o Espaço Araucária, famílias de escolas Waldorf e muitos outros apoiadores que possibilitam este impulso. 

Todo o valor arrecadado pela campanha será usado para cobrir as despesas de transporte: a viagem de ida e volta a Campos do Jordão de dois ônibus.   

Ferienlager Solidária 2016: spielen ist eine ernste Sache. 

                                                         Erziehung - Campos do Jordão, SP

Jedes Jahr, Ende Juli, eine Gruppe von Studenten und Jugendliche von ca. 80 Kinder aus Randgemeinden von São Paulo treffen sich in einen Ferienlager, einen magischen Ort in der Umgebung von Campos do Jordão. Vorgesehen sind Aktivitäten und Unterricht in Musik, Tanz und Handarbeiten, viele Ausflüge und Fahrten in die nähere Umgebung, Naturkunde zur Kreativitätsforderung, und soziale Bindung unter den Teilnehmern, Kinder und Betreuer.

Wir bieten Transport, Unterbringung, Unterrichtsmaterial, und Verpflegung (impressionant, wieviel Kinder in solcher Umgebung zu sich nehmen...).

Wir bitten um finanzielle Unterstützung zur Realizierung des Vorhabens in neuen 2016.

Gleichgesinnte helfen uns und wir sind uns sicher diesen Kinder eine einmalige Erfahrung in sicherer Umgebung zu bieten, eine gelegenheit Kontakt mit der Natur zu geniessen. So sprach Arquimedes: das Spiel ist eine wesentliche Vordersetzung um ernst zu sein.

Dieses Jahr, bemühen wir uns den Personenkreiss unserer Unterstützer zu erweitern um den Transport, Nahrungsmittel und andere Lokalspesen zu decken, sowie eine liebe Köchin, dona Josefina, die wir bezahlen, bäckt mit den Kindern jedes Jahr das Brot für alle Teilnehmern des Kinderlagers.

Jede Summe ist willkommen und gibt Anrecht auf Fotos der Teilnehmer und das Wichtigste: die Möglichkeit mehr Kindern diese einmahlige Erfahrung zu bieten.

Jedes Jahr hat das Ferienlager etwas besonderes zu bieten, sei es durch Tanz, lauten Gesang oder eine Wanderung durch eine schöne Landschaft. Seit 40 Jahre wiederhollt sich das und immer erscheint alles wie neu. Die Beurteilung der Wirkung an jeden Teilnehmer ist schwer zu schätzen, aber wir empfinden an uns selbst und den teilnehmenden Kindern Freude und Zufriedenheit.

Vor 45 Jahren wurde das erste Sommerferienlager in Campos do Jordão von Herrn Paster Zimpel organisiert. Das Gelände ist eine Schenkung der Kristengemeinschaft. Nach und nach wurden sie, die aktuellen Einrichtungen gebaut: Speisesaal, Schlafräume, eine kleine Küche, und Veranstaltungsort. Es gab damals kein Elektrostrom, nur Gaslampe, Kerzen und Taschenlampe.

In 2006 haben die früheren Teilnehmern, (Besucher und Monitoren) in Errinerung an ihren guten Erfahrungen, das Ferienlager Solidária gegründet. Alle haben viel geholfen die Idee einen Sommerferienlager für unbemitellte Kinder zu nutzen.

Wir danken unseren langjährigen Partnern: Espaço Araucária, Familien der Waldorf Schulen und andere Fans die uns diese Arbeit ermöglichten.

Solidary Camp 2016: play is serious business

Education – Campos do Jordão, SP

When July is coming to its last weeks about 80 children from three poor communities of São Paulo go to a magical place, where a group of committed young people proposes activities with music, tours, dances, manual activities and contact with nature, creating a special bonding experience with the children.

We have to mobilize a significant amount of donations to provide stay, food, transportation and activity materials to a very large number of children and youth (it is impressive how much this kids can eat)!

THE SOLIDARY CAMP OF 2016 WILL ONLY BE POSSIBLE THROUGH YOUR DONATION!

We do have very positive responses from partner institutions and we are aware that it is exceptionally important to help the development of these children by offering a healthy pace, a safe and entertaining place and above all, an opportunity to play freely and have contact with nature.

This year we are seeking to further enhance our network of people involved by launching this campaign to finance mainly transport, perishable food and other local expenses, such as Dona Josefina's work. A fantastic lady and cook that is present in this camp since its beginning and who teaches children to make bread for the whole camp every year.

In appreciation for your contribution you'll receive supporter certificate, high resolution photos of the Solidary Camp of 2015, organic shirts with original art prints, lecture with Dr Corrado Bruno, a photo album and most importantly, it will enable more children to have a transformative experience.

45 years ago the first summer camp was organized by Zimpel pastor, made with few children who slept in large canvas tents at a site in Campos do Jordao, received as donation by the Community of Christians. Gradually the current facilities were built: dining hall, bedrooms, cottages, the little church, the venues, etc. During many years there was no electricity and everything worked with gas lamps, candles and flashlights.

In 2004 the site was sold and all camp activities were interrupted. It was a great shock to everyone who was part of it and who knew how important and transforming the experience was. Two years later a new desire to put the camp back again boosted from the old organizers, always passionate and remembering the amazing experiences they had there in their childhood and adolescence. With the intention of offering this wealth to children from three institutions located in poor communities of São Paulo: Horizonte Azul, Pequeno Principe and Lapidário. So it happened the first Solidary Camp!

Pastor Zimpel was the one who was more dedicated to the camps for children, training courses for young volunteers and youth meetings, but there were also other pastors devoted to this activity: Gunther Koellert, Douglas Thackrey, Marcus Piedade, Renato Gomes and Veronica Zamalloa. The idea was that this could be used as a "summer camp", camps for children who even back than had little contact with nature.

We would like to thank our long time partners, Espaço Araucária, familys  from the waldorf community and many other suporters who made this idea come true.

Obrigado pelo apoio!

Dank für die Unterstützung!
