Book for schoolchildren
“Timo” aims to encourage children in a foreign country
Educationally valuable reading material for the 1,300 Ukrainian primary school pupils in Lower Austria. Encouraging story to allay their fears and keep them in touch with their homeland.
How history repeats itself: In the 1990s, Bosnian children fled to Lower Austria to escape the war. Alfred Brader experienced this first-hand as a teacher: "At first, the children were not doing well away from home." Now Ukrainian girls and boys share this fate. "1300 children from Ukraine attend elementary school in our country," Brader has researched. The former deputy mayor of St. Pölten has taken the initiative on their behalf.
Mother tongue is important
Karin Lindtner, a pediatrician from Linz, has written a touching book about "Timo". The little bug is different from the others. And therefore full of fears and worries. But he finds a way to find new courage. Thanks to Brader's efforts, the book has been translated with the support of the Emmaus Community and is now being distributed to every Ukrainian primary school child in Lower Austria. "Their own mother tongue is important for the emotional development of children in a foreign country," says teacher Brader. And Uliana Zadvorniak, First Secretary of the Ukrainian Embassy in Austria, also emphasized at the presentation in St. Pölten: "The mother tongue strengthens the children's hope."
