Engagement
mimacom donates and supports different charity projects each year.
Theodora Foundation, the hospital clown
Christmas 2011
A hospital stay is a difficult situation for a child. Not only it loses regular contact with his family and friends, the child must also learn to cope with this unfamiliar and often very serious environment.
It is this exact situation which leads the Theodora Foundation to the idea of a “Hospital Clown”. Every performance is specially arranged to the child’s needs. To fully listen and respond to these needs, the Clown makes sure that the child gets his entire attention. This may allow the little patients to escape from the unsettling hospital life, and instead to find themselves in a world full of colour, fantasy and games; even if it lasts only for a moment.
mimacom would like to help enable these children this brief moment of happiness by donating 5000 CHF to the theodora foundation.
Eduction in Cambodia
Christmas 2010
The project called Salariin Kampuchea teaches in several schools English to children regardless of their religious or financial situation. Four women, two of them are Swiss, started the project in 2003 and it had a largely success since then. We've supported "Salariin Kampuchea" with 5000 CHF.
Schoes for the future
Christmas 2009
We supported the charity organization Building a Future with 5000 Swiss Francs. This organizations helps children and youth in the municipality Barkly West in South Africa. With education programs in health and various group activities this charity tries to give the young people a better future.
With the amount from mimacom, the organization bought 150 new shoes for the children. Teachers and parents, which couldn't afford such a purchase, were able to watch the children smile as they went to school with their new shoes.
Foundation forms integration
Christmas 2008
"Stiftung Lerchenbühl Burgdorf" is a foundation which supports children and teenagers with learning difficulties and social problems. They create opportunities which help them to finish an education and let them so find a possibility to reintegrate into the community.
With 2000 Swiss Francs mimacom supported this institution in Burgdorf, where the mimacom office was located back then.
Höchmatt offers a home in the countryside
Christmas 2007
The residential home Höchmatt offers a place where handicapped adults are taken care of. These people have the opportunity to live and work in a very relaxing atmosphere with a stunning view.
Aeschbacherhuus relieves children, parents and instutions
Christmas 2006
In the "Aeschbacherhuus" preschool children with our without handicap get the care and treatment they deserve and need. The most important concept of the institution is the idea of reintegration. To achieve that capability with the children, groups are mixed with children with and without handicap. The mimacom was impressed of this place and supported the Aeschbacherhuus with 2000 Swiss Francs.
