And interesting idea for preserving the VG heritage (with my mistakes of translation):   First Provincial Contest about the History and Culture of the Volga Germans. "Knowing our roots" - Parana (Province of Entre Rios) October 2010.   On October 29 took place in the city of Paraná the first contest of questions about the History and Culture of the Volga Germans organized and conducted by the Centro Cultural Argentino Wolgadeutsche (CACW). Participants of two dozen schools in the province of Entre Ríos computing a presence of approximately 120 children between 10 and 16. The event was held in two categories (10 to 12 years and 14 to 16 years) participating teams of four students per school. There was two rounds of questions and a final round of tie in the category of children. The order of presentation was by lot and the series of questions were randomly within the guidelines established in the rules of convocation event on texts distributed in due course. Winners were: School 102 from Valle Maria village (Holy Spirit) in the first category (10 to 12 years) and School 96 (San Jose) from Santa Anita Village in the second category (14 to 16 years). The most important thing to note was the massive presence of children accompanied by their teachers who have been responsible for the preparation of students. The responses were overwhelming, and was appreciated a minimum number of incorrect answers that clearly demonstrates the commitment by some teachers and the other, the gradual integration of children and their families to the history and culture of our community. While the event had a competitive character could see the integration of the participating teams, the query that was performed before each screening question and a progressive learning of history and culture VG by children. All the children and their teachers received qualifications for participation in the event with gifts for groups up to third place, winners included, and books for the libraries of the two schools with the first place. As a corollary, is the satisfaction of seeing that the fresh air begins to enter with the knowledge of the culture and history of our community by the children. Many schools that had promised their attendance and participation, for various reasons could not come that day and reported his regret for the involuntary absence. Situations like this allow us to wait for most important and frequent events in the future.   Professor Horacio Augustin Walter - CACW The dissemination of this news would be appreciated   Best wishes to all the list, Gerardo Waimann - Buenos Aires, Argentina
