Did you miss the Daimohk UK Tour this time around, or maybe you saw their breathtaking performances and can’t wait until next year for another fix?  We are pleased to announce that we have a selection of merchandise for sale.  All proceeds help cover the costs of the tour and enable the group to continue performing to new audiences throughout the world.

Of course we welcome donations the whole year round to support Daimohk, so please consider either a one-off donation or setting up a regular standing order.  More details on how on our Donations Page.

“Dans Grozny Dans” or “The Damned and the Sacred” DVD – £12+P&P

This is a documentary film about Daimohk by Dutch film-maker Jos de Putter in 2004. Jos and his team followed Daimohk, comprised  of children between the ages of 6 and 16, on their tour through Europe, filming them in Amsterdam, London, Krakow and Warsaw, and during their journey by bus through Europe and Russia. The film also shows the children practicing in the rubble of Grozny and performing in Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and London’s Lyric Theatre.

“Chechen Tunes” – £5+P&P

Ten Chechen folk melodies by the musicians of Daimohk, recorded during a visit of the group to London.

2009 Tour poster – £1+P&P

This large tour poster features one of the Daimohk dancers who performed in the UK this year.  A great memento from the tour!

Thank you to everyone who has donated to this appeal. We have so far managed to raise 50% of the total £10,000 of the appeal, which is required to complete the rebuilding of four schools in Chechnya.

A further £5,000 needs to be raised by the end of June as Peacebuilding UK’s contribution. The schools serve about 1,800 pupils and were moderately or severely destroyed during the recent wars. UNICEF is paying for 86% of the rebuilding costs but expects PBUK’s partner in Russia, a Russian Charitable Fund with the same name, to contribute 14% by the end of April. Peacebuilding UK has raised £15,000 to date for this project.

Pupils and parents of these schools very much want them to reopen this Autumn, and this work is not included in the Chechen Government’s current rebuilding programme.

Please go to our Donations page for information on how to contribute. Thank you.
