UNICEF: Acrobatics help to keep children off the streets in Guinea

http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/g... CONAKRY, Guinea, 15 April 2010 - Bangali just turned 19. He lives in a very poor neighborhood of Conakry, next to a garbage dump. But, recently, Bangalis life took an exciting new turn when he began learning acrobatics at Tinafan Centre. The centre is an entry point to a better life for many children in Conakry. It is a safe haven that offers counselling, literacy lessons, vocational artist training and nutritious meals. With the Tinafan programme, we aim to lift children out of poverty and provide them with adequate tools for their future, says UNICEF Guinea Chief of Child Protection Kadiatou Pate Toure. The idea behind this project, says UNICEF Representative in Guinea Julien Harneis, is to build on whats strong in the Guinean culture itself. We wanted to find something that had an international reputation and help children thrive out of their village, their city and their country, and show something spectacular to the world. The goal of the programme is to build partnerships with world-renowned circuses and give more of the street children of Guinea a chance to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams.
