The association has been active during 2022 and carried out the following activities; singing, dancing, reading aloud, trying different musical instruments and writing poetry. The activities have been free, no previous knowledge was required for the participants and everyone was welcome. Despite the financial challenge that prevails, the association has struggled to get enough resources for the activities. With the help of the city's contribution and the city's own premises, i.a. The Allaktivitetshuset and Toppstugan have succeeded in carrying out activities in 2022. The association is also LGBTQ certified, which means a great progress and new conditions for the business.
Autumn activities
Activities during the autumn holidays have been fantastic with many children living in Sundbyberg. Singing, dancing, writing poetry and rehearsing various musical instruments were instructive. The parents provide all the support for the activities to take place as smoothly as possible. The association is grateful for that.
The pandemic has not made it easier for families around the world to cope with both the socio-economic and the psychosocial part. Our main goal during the pandemic was to make sure that children and young people in Sundbyberg exercise physically. With the help of the city of Sundbyberg, we have received support to be able to carry out sports activities during the summer holidays. Children and young people have been able to try out different musical instruments and dance. This springs a meaningful one for both families and the foundation. However, we followed all recommendations from the public health authority to reduce the spread of infection.
In June 2019 the Twin doves association had the honor of being able to visit orphanages in Congo Kinshasa. We went to visit and donate toys and sports clothes for the kids. They showed incredible gratitude by thanking endlessly. children’s health is something we are passionate about and therefore we wanted to do sports activities.
Summer activity with Twin Doves 2018
This summer was about integration. The Twin Doves foundation invited all children and adolescent to join the activity at the Amusement park (Gröna Lund) to have fun. With the help of guides we were able to visit Stockholm, by train and boat. The result of this activity was very positive. All the youth liked it.
Twin Doves is in collaboration with the Congolese association “Jeunesse en action” (Youth in action), an orphanage located in Congo Kinshasa taking care of and accommodating orphans between 0-18 years old, giving better opportunities to these children and young people. The main purpose behind the cooperation is about supplying them with education and integration. Further, they learn how to take good care of themselves so that they can fit in the society. By giving sewing courses, teaching and sensibilizing them about different diseases and preventions, this has lead them to learn about the basic issues in life. Twin Doves has for many years supported this association both as private individuals and non-profit organization. From 2015 to 2016, Twin Doves financially supported “Jeunesse en action” in donating gifts, including clothes, medicines, food and school supplies.
April 1, 2016, was
the starting point of Twin Doves’ NGO. We then grasped the opportunity to sing
for the young people and motivated them to be integrated in the Swedish
society. It is not easy for a young girl, boy, and for one to handle the
increasingly complex society in which we live today. Therefore, we wanted to
make use of music as tool of universal language and build bridges between all
races, nationalities, genders and religions. The project was intended to help
young people feeling free and to be helped, to be loved and make a difference
in someone else’s youth. In fact, one is happier than any other single
individual when someone who goes through difficulties got the appropriate help
and is in good mood. Then one can reach a wide audience who hopefully spreads
like rings on the water where other young people help their equals. Spreading
joy for us is a way to express our gratitude to the Swedish society that makes
it possible to live in a country that promotes human rights and fair trial
regardless of gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity, etc.
