Visit of the US American Ambassador (Andrew Shapiro) in the center Liščina
US Ambassador Andrew Schapiro and his wife Tamar Newberger visited Moravia. At the end of his
tour he paid a visit to the Ostrava district Liščina, where he also visited our community center Liščina
and talked with children and parents. Here, Roma live successfully with non-Roma citizens.
Trip to Morávka (Beskydy mountains)
Team Liščina organized in February a two-day trip for youths who participated in the realization of
summer camp for children in 2014. They took work at a summer camp very seriously - helped with the
program, had the responsibility as night guards, helped in the kitchen. These younf people try thier
best to help the others and it is welcomed. At this year's camp we also count with with them as
volunteers. We decided to thank them by organizing a trip. Youths played educational games, theater,
karaoke, had an afternoon stroll with snowball fights and bobsledding, the evening program consisted

Morávka once again in the future to focus on football and the girls on the dance camp.

March
Visit of the Canadian Ambassador (Otto Jelinek) in the center Liščina
In March the centre Liščina was visited by the Canadian Ambassador, Mr. Otto Jelinek. His visit was
very rare and precious for us. The Ambassador is a very nice person who likes to dance, and among
others cares about children and their lives. Children showed him dance performances – Roma dances.
After a performance he sat with the children in a circle, where together they discussed the problems
children encounter in their everyday life.

April
Romano suno competition
Children from Zárubek and Liščina participated in literary and art competition called Romano Suno
(meaning Roma dream) - a competition for primary and secondary schools and orphanages from all
over the Czech Republic, organized since 1997 by the New School NGO. The main aim of the project
is to give an opportunity to children who still knows Romani language – to use this skill in public and
describe the world around them. For many of the children such participation was first-ever meeting
with the written form of Romani language. Some had to cope with considerable difficulty. Yet they
overcame their difficulties and expressed what they or their families experienced, how it looks like at
their homes, who they like and dislike etc.
Last year, our girls from Liscina won the prize at an award ceremony in Prague and received diplomas.
This year, children from Zárubek wrote a story about Christmas (its celebration, Christmas Day), and
Romani story about whom they most appreciate. Furthermore they filmed a video (interview in
Romani). Kids participated because they know very well Romanes (comes from Slovakia, so the
family usually speaks Romanes) and took the opportunity to win something plus a possible trip to
Prague.
