Farewell gift for running around

[:en]

The year of our weltwärts volunteers Katharina and Sophia in Okakarara came to an end last week. But before they left, they gave the children a wonderful gift:

„At the end of July, we finally implemented our plan to invest the remaining donations from our circle of supporters sensibly in the project. The money for the new soft floor mat therefore came from companies, acquaintances and families back home. We integrated the mat very successfully into the circuit in PE lessons and were doubly pleased with every laughing child, because in a certain sense we ourselves contributed to it.

The kids eagerly did somersaults, rolled over the mat, jumped around on the mat and hopped off it in high arcs and kicked against it. We also took the mat out for the afternoon kids, and they too let off steam with somersaults, cartwheels and jumping around. The boys in particular were incredibly excited when we propped the mat against the wall and they were allowed to box away for ten minutes. And when, at the end, even two teachers who had initially been sceptical threw themselves onto the mat with a running start, it was finally fully accepted!“

Many thanks for your fantastic commitment, Kathi and Phia!

The kids have made diligent somersaults, curled on the mat, are jumping around on the mat and down hopped in a high arc and have kicked against it. For the afternoon we have kids the mat taken out and also ran riot with somersaults, somersaults and rumhüpfen. Especially the guys immeasurably when we are on the mat to the wall and they were allowed drauflos boxing ten minutes perk. And when even threw with start on the mat at the end of two initially skeptical teachers, she was finally accepted completely! „
