One minute you see the pastor preparing for the sermon, then we have meetings of the Local Team, and we also run our regular activities with children in this house.

The Gipsy Bashavel attendance exceeded 2,500
This Saturday the Červený Kameň Castle was flooded by the fans of Romany culture and arts. More than 2,500 people came to enjoy The Gipsy Bashavel. The children of the Divé maky program offered a showcase of all of their talents. On the meadow by the castle they presented their paintings, played theatre, demonstrated athletic skills, taught people how to dance, and treated us to authentic Romany tunes. Visitors were also attracted to the culinary show featuring Romany meals. The evening program exceeded all expectations. The children of Divé maky emanated so much temperament that they got the audience dancing by the end of their show.
