OUR CHARITY WORK SO FAR
All the members of the club (together as well as individually) have been helping and donating funds to various associations and individuals in need. For a long time we have thought about whether to publish our work so far or not, since true giving and helping is supposed to remain anonymous, without expecting any kind of refunding. This means that we should give and help in any way and forget that we have done it because this is the only idea in line with altruism.
One of the definitions of altruism explains it as a kind of behavior which seeks to help another with no expectations of praise or reward from other people, or in two words – unselfish giving.
People usually say: “I helped him as much as I could.” This is not the right answer. If we helped people only as much as we could, we would never help anyone, since this time, money etc. could always be used on ourselves. Although it sounds contradictory, you should go beyond our possibilities in helping others and you’ll notice how your life becomes better and more sensible.
The main reason why we decided to publish our charity work after all is to encourage other people to follow in our footsteps.
The last humanitarian action which we participated in was the dance show “Plesom za Afriku” (Dancing for Africa) on 3rd December 2011 in the center Češka Beseda. The purpose of this dance event was to raise money to build a school in the village Magogo in Tanzania.
The school is being built for around 100 children of the Masai tribe. This school will provide an opportunity for a better life to these children as well as at least one normal meal per day. More about these children, the school and about Croatian missionaries, who dedicated their lives to them on http://www.gledati-srcem.hr/.
We would like to thank our dear friends Andrea Čudina, Ivana Grgić, Damir Jukić and Gordan Drnas for joining us in a rueda dance and for participating in this event with a noble cause, as well as the organizers of this beautiful event, to the center Češka Beseda and to the dance studio Celtic Fantasy for inviting us.
We have donated various amounts of money to these organizations and individuals. They could all still use some extra financial aid, so feel free to contact them or you can contact us and we can connect you with them.
