Piltti supports the Village Grandma and Danger, which unites generations News Sep 30, 2011 The grandmothers and grandchildren of the Mannerheim League for Child Welfare are in support of families with children in today's hurry. Grandparents are an important part of the support network for families with children, and intergenerational interaction enriches the lives of both children and adults. However, according to a recent MLL family café survey, more than a fifth of families with children do not meet their grandparents often *. "For example, long distances and the hectic nature of everyday life have meant that not everyone's own grandparents are present in everyday life. Ojala from Pilt says. This year, the support scholarships for the Pilt on the Families of Children project will be directed to MLL's Village Grandma and Danger activities, so that more and more families around Finland have the opportunity to get to know each other for generations. The most important function of village grandmothers and dangers is to be present The purpose of the village grandmother and danger activities is to provide children with a comfortable stay with elderly volunteers. Baking moments, excursions, games or, for example, exciting stories about a village hill with your grandmother or another older adult are memorable experiences for many children. Village grandmothers and grandparents are trained adult volunteers who want to give their children time while sharing old, well-established practices with their families. They are not spare grandchildren or dangers for individual children, but work in groups of children, for example in kindergartens and MLL's family cafés, says Tarja Satuli-Kukkonen, head of open activities for children and families with children. Tällä hetkellä vapaaehtoisia kylämummeja ja -vaareja on Suomessa 294. Lisää vapaaehtoisia ja innostuneita aktiiveja kuitenkin tarvitaan, jotta toiminta vakiintuisi koko maassa. Ensi vuonna 60 vuotta täyttävä Piltti jakoi Lapsiperheiden puolella -hankkeen myötä syksyllä 2010 yhteensä 20 000 euroa Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliiton perhekahviloille. Tänä vuonna tuki kohdistuu Kylämummi- ja vaaritoimintaan. Piltin tuella käynnistetään rekrytointikampanja, jolla pyritään saamaan uusia mummeja ja vaareja mukaan toimintaan ja autetaan lapsiperheitä löytämään oman alueensa kylämummit ja -vaarit. Lisäksi Piltti jakaa 100–1 000 euron arvoisia stipendejä MLL:n piireille toiminnan käynnistämistä ja ammatillista ohjaamista varten. Stipendien hakuaika alkaa 15. syyskuuta ja päättyy 30. marraskuuta 2011. Paikallinen tuki täydentää Piltin yli kymmenvuotista yhteistyötä MLL:n kanssa. *MLL perhekahvilakysely / toukokuu 2011, 594 vastaajaa.
