CCECH UK (UK, 1120197) Browse events

YTD Raised: £0.00

CCECH UK supports the Centre for Creativity in Education and Cultural Heritage, CCECH, in Israel which works with Jewish and Arab children in Israel through their schools, families and communities to promote understanding and coexistence. "CCECH uses the folklore and traditions of Jewish and Arab families to bind together the two groups, the Jewish and Arab children, who are sometimes fearful and often ignorant of the “other”. The children’s parents and grandparents are their offspring’s homework - traditional food, games and toys passed down generations, family stories and traditional songs. First, children ask their families about these things. Then they report back to their teachers and classmates; a lesson a week is earmarked for this. Next, a pair of classes, one from a Jewish and one from an Arab school, come together with their parents and teachers to share food, games and information. Over the course of the two to three years that the children and their families spend in the programme, barriers come down and trust grows. A ten year old Palestinian girl who lives in a Refugee Camp gave this feedback: I have never met Jews before. I thought that they only want to humiliate us. I have enjoyed playing with these girls and I have some new friends. I cannot believe how this is possible. I will tell my parents. A Jewish Israeli child said: At the beginning I was really really scared after everything I see in the news and what my parents say. I was scared that they would be violent and when they came I thought ‘what will they do to us – how will we mix, will we argue all the time?’ And, in the end, that’s not what happened - they were nice, like everybody."

Lunch4Learning (UK, 1126948) Browse events

YTD Raised: £0.00

Since 2003, Ugandan children have been attending school in much larger numbers but if education is to have its desired impact, then lunchtime meals have to be made available. Our aim has always been to raise the standard of learning of children in Ugandan primary schools.  Lunch4Learning was set up in 2008 to raise the standards of learning in primary schools in Uganda by helping these schools provide children with a midday meal. This is to be achieved by helping schools to grow food crops that will provide a lunch for pupils who presently go without one. We also support schools with income-generating projects. Many of these children go without breakfast and will have walked long distances to get to school where drinking water is not always available either so we also look after their water needs as best we can. A midday meal improves pupils' attendance and thus, increases attainment levels and future lives. This encapsulates Lunch4Learning’s primary objectives and reflects those of the World Bank, UNICEF and the World Food Programme. What is very different about Lunch4Learning is that it encourages sustainable agriculture and whilst helping schools to grow their own crops, it also provides hands-on opportunities for involvement of extended school communities - parents, churches etc. - to advance their children’s futures across generations. We, therefore, expect the impact of our work to be considerable, sustainable and also long term across communities.   Lunch4Learning was awarded NGO status in Uganda in July 2011. Ours is an ambitious, long term, sustainable programme. By empowering schools to grow their own food and provide a daily lunch to all their pupils, we will encourage children to be successful learners and to develop practical and sustainable skills at the same time.
