Zäme TAPFer as d'Dorffäscht
Das Dorffest Fislisbach ist ein Ort der Lebensfreude – ein Fest der Begegnung, an dem alle Fislisbacher und Nachbargemeinden kulinarische Vielfalt feiern. Als Verein TAPF Schweiz mit Wurzeln in Fislisbach und Baden laden wir Sie ein, indische Gastfreundschaft zu erleben und dabei Teil einer beeindruckenden Erfolgsgeschichte zu werden.
Ja, mit unserem Beizli sind wir auch dabei – mit authentischen Köstlichkeiten vom besten indischen Restaurant der Schweiz: echtes Street Food wie Samosas, Paneer Tikka und weitere Spezialitäten. Neben dem Essen laden wir Sie ein, die Vielfalt Indiens spielerisch zu entdecken. Testen Sie Ihre Nase beim Gewürz-Ratespiel, probieren Sie traditionelle indische Musikinstrumente aus, lernen Sie lustige Bollywood-Tanzschritte mit einer Tanzlehrerin oder lassen Sie sich ein kunstvolles Henna- Tattoo malen.
Während Sie bei uns feines indisches Street Food geniessen, unterstützen Sie ein System, das weltweit Massstäbe setzt. Der Erlös fliesst direkt in das Programm «Food for Education» der Akshaya Patra Foundation, das täglich 2,3 Millionen Kinder in indischen Dörfern mit einem warmen Mittagstisch in der Schule versorgt.
Die Idee ist so simpel wie genial: In Regionen, in denen wirtschaftliche Not herrscht, ist eine tägliche warme Mahlzeit in der Schule ein starker Anreiz für Eltern, ihre Kinder zum Unterricht statt zur Arbeit zu schicken. So wird der Mittagstisch zum wichtigsten Verbündeten der Bildung. Indem Sie sich bei uns kulinarisch verwöhnen lassen, helfen Sie mit, den Teufelskreis der Armut zu durchbrechen, der oft seit Generationen besteht. Ein ausgebildetes Kind kann später sich und seine Familie aus eigener Kraft aus der Not führen.
Es ist eine wunderbare Form des «Gutes-Tuns»: Für nur 18 Franken – oft weniger als ein Abendessen hierzulande – kann ein Kind ein ganzes Jahr lang mit Schulmahlzeiten unterstützt werden. Wie geht das? In über 70 Städten Indiens betreibt TAPF riesige, hochmoderne und hocheffiziente Zentralküchen. Dank optimierter Prozesse und enormer Skalierung werden täglich über 2,3 Millionen Kinder pünktlich mit einem warmen Mittagstisch direkt in ihren Schulen versorgt. Eine vollwertige Mahlzeit kostet dabei umgerechnet nur etwa 8 Rappen.
Wir freuen uns darauf, mit Ihnen in Fislisbach zu feiern und gemeinsam die Welt ein kleines Stück zu verändern! Wir freuen uns auch auf freiwillige Aushilfe.
