Cheer up
“To cheer up the friendship train, we’d sing Tapori songs of friendship... and dance to songs from our country : the fatigué fatigué, the youpi youpi slide, the seka seka, the chamagouana, the kpangor (the grandmother dance), and the gorilla kpangor. We’ll tell each other funny stories. To get together the other children, I’ll go from neighborhood to neighborhood, from city to city, from country to country... We’ll show them our dazibaos. In the car, we’ll have mangos, coonuts, and oranges that we’ll share with happiness and joy. The gas in our car will be joy, sharing, and friendship.” Marie-Josée and Huguette, Ivory Coast (photo of children from Madagascar)
Children
“We’re children. We want to be happy.” (dazibao from Guatemala)
Don’t stay without dreams or friends
"Tapori: If you don’t have any friends, come to Tapori. We don’t treat differently black or white, red or blond. We really shouldn’t stay without dreams or friends.” Juliette, France (dazibao from Thailand)
I make him laugh
“...When I meet a kid who’s new, I talk to him, I’m nice, and I make him laugh. I talk to him to know more about him and let him know more about us. To go meet others, if it’s not too far, I’d take my bike. But if it’s far, I’d take the bus.” Laura, Belgium (car from Poland)
We learn to trust each other
“When we play together and share our lives and experiences, we learn to trust others and discover their good qualities. Then we can try to improve our ideas and the way we see our everyday life because we talked about it together.” a group of children from Belgium (photo from the Olympiads of Old and Forgotten Games, Poland)
