A chance encounter at a meeting I didn’t want to go to
enriched the lives of 15 Roma children this summer. I met Alice van Nimwegen from
Stichting (Foundation) Aria at a gathering of Dutch missionaries. She was
preparing a 3-week “summer school” for 15 children who needed extra attention,
and not just educationally. I introduced her to
Davar:
Bridging to Literacy. Alice describes Davar as “games specially
developed for children who are older but do not (yet) go to school. In a
playful way, children learn the basics of addition, drawing, telling stories,
writing letters, etc. These games turned out to be wonderful tools!”
If you or an organization you know would be interested in such a summer school, feel free to
contact us. Alice van Nimwegen has given us permission to share the outline of their summer "school".
