RO - Nevoia de educatie care exista intre copiii tiganilor din Bontida, este foarte mare. Unii copii nu merg nici la gradinita, nici la scoala. Mai bine de jumatate din cei care frecventeaza scoala nu stiu sa scrie si sa citeasca. Cei mai multi au ramas o data sau de mai multe ori repetenti aproape in fiecare an din clasele 1-5. Macar ca sunt copii capabili intre ei, dezinteresul familiei fata de educatia lor scolara ii face pe copiii la fel de dezinteresati. Multi nu sunt incurajati sa munceasca pentru scoala. Chiar dintre cei putini silitori, lipsa incurajarii parintesti sau prietenesti ii face sa se opreasca undeva intre clasele 3-8 cu frecventarea cursurilor scolare.

Din cauza acestor motive, ne-am hotarat ca biserica sa ajutam la incurajarea si educarea copiilor de tigani pana la terminarea liceului, macar. Primul pas pe care vrem sa-l facem este sa-i invatam sa scrie si sa citeasca. Daca reusesc sa depaseasca acest mare handicap, vor putea sa invete la orice materie scolara. Cei care stiu sa scrie, copiaza texte din Scriptura pentru a invata mai multe lucruri odata. Dorim sa-i ajutam sa aiba dragoste pentru scoala, de aceea cei care termina de scris lectia primii se duc sa-si ia biciclete sau role pentru a se juca in curte, iar fetitele se pot juca cu papusile si jucariile care le avem la etaj. Cand avem le daruim premii in dulciuri, sau alte atentii. Avem nevoie de sprijin in materiale didactice, biciclete, triciclete, role, jucarii de plastic, si pentru sustinerea a cel putin unei educatoare sau doua. Copiii care vin la orele de invatatura si joaca in cele 5 zile ale saptamanii intre orele 16-20, sunt intre 20 si 30. Credem in puterea educatiei si in puterea lui Isus, pentru ceea ce se face.

EN - “The need for education that exists between children of Bontida Gypsies is very high. Some children do not attend either the kindergarten or school. More than half of those attending the school not know how to read and write. Most left once or several times repeat almost every year in grades 1-5. At least they are smart children among them, the family indifference towards their school education makes children as disinterested. Many are not encouraged to work for school. Even among those few diligent, lack of parental or friendly encouragement makes them stop somewhere between 3-8 classes with school attendance rates.

Because of these reasons, the church decided to help, encourage and educate the children of Gypsies until high school at least. The first step we want to do, is teach them to read and write. If they manage to overcome this great handicap, they will be able to learn at any school matters. Those who know how to write, copy the texts of Scripture to learn more things at once. We want to help them have a love for school. Who’s finished the first is going to take their bike or roller to play in the yard, and girls can play with dolls and toys that we have upstairs rooms . When we have we gave them candy prizes, or other attentions. We need support in teaching materials, bicycles, tricycles, roller, plastic toys, and for support at least one teacher or two. Children who comes to hours of work and play in the 5 days of the week are between 20 and 30. We believe in the power of education and power of the Lord Jesus, for what is done here.”
