January 20, 2024 - 10-14h Raclette Plausch in Schaffhausen
Andi from Biopartner Switzerland and viva natura offer a raclette chat. Enjoy a fine organic raclette with delicious side dishes for only 6.- per portion in front of the store. All proceeds from the sale of raclette will be donated to the Plume-grenzenloses Zirkusspiel association. Of course, you can also 'feed' our donation box on this day 😊 In addition, Dagmar and Kurt from the Plume association (which grew out of their many years of work with the Circus Balloni in Sirnach) will be there to answer questions. We would be delighted to welcome you, enjoy a delicious organic raclette with us (we also offer a vegan cashew-based version) and at the same time support the wonderful projects of the Plume association, which can bring a smile to the faces of many children in the world in the most difficult life situations. Hansi, Christoph and the whole viva natura team
December 2023 - new project in Benin
During research, Lucas came across the Nu Dagbe Social Circus in Cotonou, Benin, by chance. Together with Tommy - his clown partner - he has now visited the country and the makers of Nu Dagbe. The highlight was a combination of a performance by local artists and Pepe & Tommy for a children's home. Nu Dagbe was brought to an abrupt halt by Corona and the idea of reviving this great project quickly grew - to kiss it awake, so to speak. 12 young people rehearsed a program 5 years ago. They were all at home on the street and in the market, fleeing the violence in their parents' home. Now - as young adults - they can pass on their skills. 5 children's homes in Cotonou are to receive weekly circus classes. More than 100 children will be able to enjoy circus games. The Plume association finances the first year and thus provides start-up support for a revival in the original sense.
