Descripción de la organización:

Bampabura School z.s. is transformed NGO from original Cultura Africa (funded in February 2005).
Bampabura School (B.Sch.) is a Czech based non-profit organisation funded by highly experienced
and energetic individuals taking collaborative initiative across sectors to provide children and young
people sustainable, and high quality projects that support their intercultural and linguistic
competencies. The “engine” of Bampabura School and its main strength are 5 committed individuals,
creative, well-educated and richly experienced in the sphere of project management and
implementation experts, all involved at different levels of our project working mainly on voluntary
basis. Liběna Kobuyambi Mwesigwová, the chairperson of the association, even though working for
the organization on voluntary basis, spends 20 hours on administration work in the organization
(promoting organization activities, administrating email communications and phone calls, fund raising
and developing new ideas). She then spends another 10-15 hours a week lecturing B.Sch. regular
and occasional activities. Other committed members of the association are mainly external lecturers
who take up regular and occasional B.Sch. activities and are involved 3-5 hours a week. Bampabura
School plays an active role in improving the situation of children and youth by introducing innovative
models in non-formal education. The objectives of Bampabura School are: 1. bring together people
(professionals and non-professionals) who are willing to actively join organization activities 2.
organize educational, cultural, sports and relaxing activities for children and young people 3. create
better conditions of children and youth in non-formal education, sports and cultural activities and
social integration 4. realize projects that solve problems and obstacles of children and young people
with fewer opportunities 5. Cooperation with other institutions, stakeholders and foundations and
helps (through charity activities) developing initiatives to network more institutions into creating
educational, cultural and relaxing activities. Currently, B.Sch. shares and uses premises of Spolek
ŽIVO. The deal of sharing and using premises is based on an agreement between both associations
and can be given evidence in writen form. The premises are located in a reconstructed old farm
house in Pzeň, Božkov (with lovely and countryside feeling neighbourhood) where Spolek ŽIVO runs
2 playgroups (initiated and founded by Liběna Kobuyambi Mwesigwová, chairperson of B.Sch.) and
B.Sch. runs its activities in one separate "classroom" and supports playgroups.
