Cartea Recordurilor a considerat ca miile de metri patrati desenati cu creta de copii nu indeplinesc standardele pentru certificarea unui record

Guinness Book considered that the thousands of squares of pavement drawn by kids from Cluj didn’t meet the standards of a World Record

De 1 Iunie 2008, Primaria Municipiului Cluj-Napoca si Fundatia Romana pentru Copii, Comunitate si Familie au organizat pentru toti copiii din Cluj evenimentul JOOnior Zambet, care si-a propus intrarea in Guinness Book cu cel mai mare desen pe asfalt din lume. Desi desenul a depasit considerabil ca suprafata precedentul record, Guinness Book a decis ca nu poate fi certificat.

Comparand calitatea desenului dumneavoastra cu cea a desenului care detine acum recordul Guinness, desi realizarea dumneavoastra este impresionanta, avem impresia ca desenul dumneavoastra nu este la acelasi standard cu recordul prezent si cu cel precedent. Pentru corectitudinea demersului, nu putem accepta desenul dumneavoastra ca un record Guinness. (Kristian Teufel, Records Management Team)

Evenimentul care a marcat Ziua internationala a copilului a reunit pe viitoarea sosea de centura a orasului peste 1.500 de copii si 150 de voluntari. Elevii de la Liceul de Arte „Romulus Ladea” au realizat conceptul desenului, care a luat forma unui tren cu locomotiva si 62 de vagoane. Tema desenului a fost Zambet de Copil.

JOOnior Zambet a fost un eveniment de strangere de fonduri.

Din totalul de aproximativ 28.000 lei stransi pentru eveniment, 21.000 lei vor fi folositi in aceasta toamna de catre FRCCF pentru a ajuta copiii din familii defavorizate sa nu abandoneze scoala.

Suportul sponsorilor si al partenerilor media ai evenimentului a fost folosit atat pentru organizarea evenimentului, cat si pentru sprijinirea copiilor provenind din familii cu venituri foarte mici din Cluj. Fundatia Vodafone, Emerson si Unimet CUG au dorit sa sustina aceasta cauza prin sponsorizarea in bani a JOOnior Zambet, iar Logo Design, Rosal Grup si RATUC au sprijinit logistic evenimentul.

On June 1st 2008, Cluj-Napoca City Hall and the Romanian Foundation for Children, Community and Family organized JOOnior Smile for all the kids from Cluj. One of the goals of the event was to establish a new world record for the biggest chalk drawing. Even if the drawing was bigger than the one which is already in Guinness Book, the Guinness Book representatives decided that our drawing cannot be certified.

„Having compared the quality of your painting with that of the current record chalk painting and although yours an impressive acheivement, we feel that your drawing is not to the same standard which the current and previous record holders have displayed. In the interest of fairness we are therefore unable to accept your painting as a Guinness World Record”. (Kristian Teufel, Records Management Team)

The event, which celebrated the International Children’s Day, brought together more than 1,500 children and 150 volunteers on the newest beltway of the town. The students of “Romul Ladea” Arts High School created the drawing concept which took the shape of a train with 62 cars. The subject of the drawing was Child Smile.

JOOnior Smile was a fundraising event
From the 28,000 lei (~7,900 EUR) raised for this event, this automn FRCCF will use 21,000 lei (~6,000 EUR)to support the kids from low income families from Cluj not to drop out school.

The support provided by the event sponsors and media partners was used to organise the event as well as to support the children from low income families in Cluj. Vodafone Fundation, Emerson and Unimet CUG wished to support this cause by giving money to JOOnior Smile, meanwhile Logo Design, Rosal Grup and RATUC offered logistic support.
