Summer Camps Protection, Leraning and Fun!

 
2.2

 Acquiring Funds
CPUs should seek funding for organizing summer camps both internally and externally. 
Internally, they should initially seek financial support from the Directorate of Services 
and Social Care in the local government Unit, Municipality or Commune. All initial 
CPU fund raising efforts should be concentrated towards acquiring budgeting from 
the Commune or Municipal Government. In order to successfully achieve this, it is 
important for the CPU worker(s) to prepare in good time summer camp plans and 
a budget and present it to the Municipality Council or Commune for approval. The 
chairman/chairwomen and the Council of Municipality/Commune are the strategic 
actors that should be contacted by an official request or by organizing meetings that 
present the project proposal of summer camp. The provision of financial support and 
inclusion of summer camp activities in the budgets of local government structures 
guarantees the continuity of these camps in the future. It is also an indicator for 
commitment and concrete support that the local government offers for children in 
need of protection. Considering the fact that the local government’s budget is often 
characterized by limitations and by inevitable internal competition for allocation of 
funds for a number of projects and local needs, CPUs may consider increasing funds 
by contacting other external sources such as local businesses, various associations, 
civil society organizations, and Chamber of Commerce. 
Please refer to annex 
14 
for budgeting for the summer camp activities. 
It is generally advisable to start the process of 
preliminary preparations at least 3 months in 
advance!
“Living together in a multicultural environment is a big step toward 
becoming equal with European societies,” 
said Llambi Bllani, an animator 
in the summer camp
. “Hopefully we can instill these values in our children 
today in order to have a more civilized society tomorrow.”
