One Saturday in Kielce…
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty – 17 October 2009
On Saturday 17 October the International Day for the Eradication of Povertywas celebrated in Kielce. Dozens of children came to the toy and games museum, accompanied by their teachers, monitors or grandmothers, to make treasure chests to put in a ‘friendship train’ which will take them to Geneva in December 2009.
In fact, thanks to the Tapori movement, children from all over Poland were able to express loudly and clearly the things most important to them by means of these little boxes. In a few weeks time, a few of these children will be received by the United Nations as representatives of all the others. They will take with them this curious train as proof of the mobilisation and active involvement of each and every one of them in their cause.
On Saturday the majority of the children had already made their treasure chests, so, on arrival they were able to attend a screening of the Tapori film, ‘If we get together we can build a new world’. This short film tells the story of a train which visits the Tapori groups all over the world.
