We keep on bringing you stories about our great GYSD projects that have taken place in Eurasia! Our next story is about FLEX alumni from Russia who have organized the "Rebus" Mini-book" project!
Alumni came up with an idea of the
project during their visits to the orphanages in Ufa. They decided that mini-book “Rebus”
will be created for children, who live in orphanages, rehabilitation centers and
children homes.
"Rebus" is sort of a riddle, where the words are presented as
pictures with letters and numbers. Solving a riddle develops creative and logical
thinking, teaches how to think out of box, trains visual memory and the correct
spelling. The child learns to determine patterns, which broadens its
vocabulary.
The approximate number of beneficiaries was 500 children (each
mini- book can be taken into pieces and each children can get 2-4 riddles from
one book).
This project was the opportunity for FLEX
Alumni and other volunteers to create the family environment in orphanages and
make it easier for children to live in the modern world, where they will have
to make unusual decisions as fast as they can.
FLEX Alumni cooperated with the students from
Moscow State Humanitarian University named after M. Shokhov and the university
gave the studios and equipment for the team. Moreover, the organization “Fund
of support of the national Bashkir cinema” gave 3000 rubles to create
mini-books. FLEX Alumni also cooperated
with USG Alumni – IREX, Business for Russia.
The presentation of the project took place on April 26 and 27. FLEX alumni organized art classes with them. Also, the mini-books wete sent to the other orphanages in Bashkortostan. At the end of the class, children created their own riddles and solved them with their friends.
The front
cover and riddles were created by Diana
Bikbaeva ’10. The riddles were created by
Karina Khaibrahmanova ’11,Kamila Danilova ’10, Mikhail Ivanov ’11 and Mila Savelyeva ’09.
This is a great example of how simple ideas turned into something really exciting and useful for kids! Thank you dear Ufa alumni for your GYSD activity and a big contribution to th development of cimmunity service!
