Thank you and Bonboni-Future plans:

We would like to congratulate all the children, parents, sponsors and our big team for a wonderful and  most rewarding show this year.  Everyone enjoyed the performances immensely and we are very proud of  our talented children in Dahab.  

Now as the 2010 project has come to an end the team is working towards the future for other performance opportunities and next years Circ Bonboni Project.  

We would like to announce that we will be having a select performance group. This will be run with workshops from September to December to extend the children's current skills and techniques. With the help of specialised trainers we will reach higher goals physically and push the skills to the next development level. It is very exciting to have the help of Coralia Hotel yet again for training space and we can perform what the children practise at regular intervals.  

Of course as a team, we are already thinking about 2011 Circ Bonboni themes and there are lot of new ideas.  We are able to reflect on things that worked well and things that can be improved.  So thank you for all your positive and critical feedback to help us grow as a team and as a performance.

'A super show that was genius with a high standard acrobatic skills with great choices of music, beautiful choreography and wonderful costumes.  It is great how you can engross all the children of Dahab.' (Simone Höch, General Manager Swiss Inn)  

With the continuation of the Circ Bonboni Project we would like everyone to spread the word for the future to come. Without sponsorship from Dahab and around the world as well as our dedicated donators, helpers, volunteers and team we would not be able to continue and to have such a high calibre show.  So please we would be very grateful for any more sponsors as well as continuing sponsorship and donations of any size would make the future possible for the Circ Bonboni show to continue training, guiding and making little circus stars!  

Keep your eyes open for more information concerning the performance groups beginning after the summer and all those little stars keep practising your hula hooping, jumping, Poi, acrobats and acting, as the show will go on. Happy Holidays to everyone!  :-)

Many greetings,
The Bonboni-Team

Dahab for All

Access for All is starting to promote Dahab as a destination for people with mobility difficulties and offers a consultancy service to businesses wanting to market or improve their facilities for the disabled customer. 

RAMPS & SLOPES
Question: Do you know the recommended gradient for a ramp? 
Answer: It is 1:12 (5° or 8.33%) maximum recommended gradient or ideally 1:20 (2.5° or 5%), that means for every 1cm you need at least 12cm of ramp. So a 10cm step should have a 1.2 – 2.0m long ramp.  (There is a very useful FREE Application you can download to an iPhone or similar that measures gradients). Here is a helpful chart with 3 ways of measuring gradients:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RAMPS:

The maximum height a ramp should cover is 2m otherwise the wheelchair user gets exhausted.  Where ramps need to be long, flat resting areas (landings) should be provided at each turn or periodically; these need to be at least 180cm long.  A ramp should be at least 150cm or ideally 180cm wide to allow 2 wheelchairs to pass. Handrails should also be provided and where there is danger of someone falling off the side of a ramp a 10cm contrasting colour kerb should be fitted. The surface should be non-slip.

If you are interested in joining this exciting project or in having more information please email Fiona Reeks, Occupational Therapist, PADI & International Association for Handicapped Divers instructor at fiona@ergo-ots.co.uk to arrange a FREE appointment between 29.11.09 & 12.12.09.    

I am also compiling a list of people who would be willing to assist disabled guests while in Dahab.  For example nurses, therapists, tour operators, taxi drivers, doctors, dentists, and people with past relevant experience with helping people with disabilities e.g. home carers.

If you are a DM or Instructor with experience with disabled people I would like to hear from you too! 
Please email me and I will send you more information or give me a call between 29.11.09 & 12.12.09. on Tel: +20 165 208 054.

New in Dahab: Hike Dahab - where the desert and sea collide

Dahab is a world of endless possibilities no matter whether you're in town to dive, windsurf, kitesurf, do yoga programmes or just relax. Around Dahab there are a number of spectacular walks. These hikes aren't strenuous and offer sweeping mountain views and crashing seas along the paths. Consider coming out with us for a few hours or few days and see more of what the spectacular Sinai has to offer.

About Mady MacDonald

For years trekking has been a passion of mine. In Kathmandu , I worked for the Himalayan Explorers and enjoyed the paths of the majestic Himalayas for nearly a year. Since then I've climbed and walked throughout the world, including walking around Dahab in the five years I've lived here. I carry a first aid kit with me and am a first aid instructor as well as holding my Wilderness First Aid certificate. I am also a PADI dive instructor. Oh, and inevitably my dog, Aqua, will come with us. Hope you like dogs.
