3rd weekend: The Animals of Ecuador

The third weekend of our 2010 workshops was just incredible! The kids came up with a lot of own ideas and worked creatively and concentrated in their wonderful animals. Each child is becoming an expert of an animal and every weekend they learn more about the species, the feeding, the living space and whatever else may be important in ...the specific context. It was heart-rending to see the way the children got into that topic and some of them even wanted to go on working when it was time to go to the river. What a compliment! Apart from that we where happy about a guest from Germany. Tobias worked for 11 month at Gálapagos and on his way back home he passed the finka to let the children profit of some of his work experience at the island. We cant wait to go on working the next three weekends and non of us wants to believe that its already half-time over...

Second Weekend and First Work Experiences of Summer 2010

15 happy kids, 3 happy talleristas and one more than happy "casi tallerista" as well as Edison (the person in charge of the Salesianos) went saturday morning united in a "camioneta" to the finka to start working.

Challenging-Fun times enjoyed the kids, while working with the new materials like wire and balloons combined with papier-mache, they all did a great job and never surrendered! The kids seemed to be very inspired by the "cloud forest and its animals" subject why Fanziska decided to follow Jamina and Liza for now. The next weekends will follow the farytail ideas and dreams. As some of the kids in contrast to our `talleristas´ already know the finca and the sequence of tha bambú workshops, it was a beautiful exchange of experiences and knowledge and we are very happy about the first results.

Everybody enjoyed as well, the so tasty and healthy food at this paradise-like place and if there has to be something to complain it would be the mosquitos that tried to eat us... but... lets just say that there ist absolutly nothing to complain :D

With special thanks to our facilitators and the kids!

Good start for 2010: "Get-to-know-weekend"
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

We are happy to tell that the first weekend of our 2010 workshops worked out very well. Franziska, Jamina and Liza - our talleristas from Hamburg - and eleven of the bambu kids got to know each other, went to the river near the finca and enjoyed the ...wonderful nature.

Now we are so much looking forward to start working with the kids coming saturday. The theme of Jamina and Lizas workshop is going to be the cloud forest and its animals. The children will be free to choose an animal they are becoming an expert of during the period of the workshops. They will reconstruct the animals and their living spaces in an creativ way. Franziska offers the children the opportunity to create their own farytail and to build the protagonists of their stories with papier-mache and paint them as colourfull as they feel like :)

The upcoming weekends we are having some special guests on the finca we tell you more about soon.

With many thanks to our donors and everybody else that made 2010th bambu workshops possible!

bambúPresentation 2009
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

After 1,5 month of work, joy and a lot of new experiences, the bambúProjekt closed with a presentation of the works created this year by our group of 20 kids (thanks to our Talleristas Belén & Mariuxi everything was finished to the date).

We installed several photographs and paintings from last years workshops in the Centro Cultural El Aguijón (thanks to Galo for colaborating and sponsoring the place and the equipment, gracias loco!) and had Jonas introducing the crew and the people involved. As a surprise to the kids, a representative from STEFAN BRANDT came on stage and donated 30 shirts with the green hummingbird-logo printed on the front. The kids immediatly put them over :)

The workshop leaders introduced the upcoming presentation of works. Jimmy (11) and Robinson "Chicho" (10) also had something to say and surprised the audience with their cool and fearless manner.

Then we started projecting the videowork from one group and the animation piece from the other group of kids, which partizipated the last 60 days.
