Twiga in the Praga District of Warsaw. Information about Foundation Twigs: According to many African mythologies TWIGA – the giraffe symbolizes above all – UNIQUENESS – each of us, regardless of our origin and life situation, is unique and has values and potential, deserves respect. TWIGA is also looking to the future and constantly EMPOWERING DEVELOPMENT, because thanks to its long neck, the giraffe sees more, further. TWIGA is also a CONNECTION WITH THE EARTH and its laws as a direct reference to the necessity to live in harmony with nature, taking into account the laws of nature, phenomena and global interdependencies so crucial in global education. The giraffe appears in wall paintings from prehistoric times, symbolizing ATTACHMENT TO TRADITION and reaching for basics. TWIGA is a mystical animal with a strong place in the symbolism of many cultures of the world – associated with enormous INTUITION, imagination and CREATIVITY. The giraffe’s strength lies in focusing, analyzing and drawing conclusions, WORKING, and determination. According to the idea of UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT VIOLENCE – the GIRAFFE LANGUAGE is one in which we understand, empathize, do not judge others, we talk honestly about our feelings, from our perspective. The giraffe wants to know other people’s feelings in order to be able to react to them without criticizing and rashly judging.Paulina Zając, President and Project Coordinator of Foundacion

in the Praga District of Warsaw. About the Ark Children's Foundation: The Ark Children’s Foundation was founded on 19th May 2014 thanks to the support offered by the Foundation of Lukas Podolski, a football player, whose intention was to support children in his country of birth. The Ark’s concept has been derived from “Die Arche” Christliches Kinder- und Jugendwerk e.V., a German organisation closely co-operating with Mr Podolski. The key objective of the Ark Foundation is to improve the children’s living conditions and future prospects. A Polish branch of the Ark takes care of over 60 children coming from Warsaw’s district of Praga-Północ. We provide them with daily hot meals, support them in doing their homework and invite them to our sports and music events. But, first of all, we offer them our attention and care, foster interpersonal bonds and accompany them in the process of growing up. Witnessing how the working methods developed and tested by the German Foundation become rooted in the Polish culture and mentality is just fascinating.Bogumila Manek, head of the Ark Children's Foundation
