Rescue the Schiavone Dojo

There is a great offer for new mats and so we are able to order with your support 60 m2 for our new dojo. As you know this is the most important part of the equipement of a dojo.

SO THE FIRST MAIN STEP FOR THE NEW DOJO IS DONE!

We hope during waiting for the mats the new accomodations will also materialize.
We are so happy, that it`s going on!
Thanks again for all of your support!!!

Dear boosters!

We closed the campagne with 178% of our first goal!
And now, after all the personal "thank yous", it`s time to say also here a very big official thank you to all of you great people!!!
You all brought us so much hope!

At the very moment we are still in an intermediate solution and searching for our new dojo, but we are sure with your help in our back there will show up a new way, when it`s time for it.

For now we still are allowed to practice once the week in the gym of the primaryschool that reacted first after our black day. With the tatami of the the children aikido project AikidoKidsLuzern and happily very low rent.

So your donations help us for a very long time or, and that is now our plan, the very most costs for the new tatami later in our new dojo.
We will not move into our old rooms again for several reasons. On the one hand there is still the danger that it could be flooded again (as we now heard it`s the 2nd time in 10 years), on the other hand we want to start a bit smaller and hopefully with a lower rent, so that it is more secure that we can stay there for long term. We hope to be able to make a very new and clear start then.
Most of our Aikidokas stayed with the dojo. No matter that for the moment there is only one training-possibility in the week and this in another part of the town.
So we are glad what we still have and look forward for whatever will come in the future. We are sure that what comes will be the best for our dojo!

And if the time is there and doors open to go further to the new shore of places and experiences, with your donations we`ll then be able to react very directly. That is so releaving! Thank you so much for this freedom!

The first step is done. But: to rebuild the dojo there is still a long way to go. So please continue to share our campaign. So that we will reach the final goal with a new dojo in the end.

Thanks also to those three boosters who believe in the reconstruction and sent us a new donation - plus to the first target!

You give us hope!

What we were able to achieve till now is a weekly training for the adult aikidokas in a gym after school holydays. Just one the week and in another part of the town. Not ideal, but better than nothing!

So please continue to share our campaign.

We wish you a wonderfull happy summer!
