Helsinki Diakonissalaitos has sold Karjalohja’s Heponiemi camp center to venture capital investor Mikael Hedi. The operation of the area continues almost unchanged, but without religious boundaries.
*I finally arrived here on the shores of Lake Puujärvi, after looking at many places. I liked the area, I had to get a residential plot on its shores, a piece of land of my own on the shore of a clear lake.*
The praise of the beauty of Lake Puujärvi, located in Karjalohja, roughly halfway between Helsinki and Turku, and especially Heponiemi, which protrudes into it, continues for several pages.
Hed is a venture capitalist who previously served as the CEO of the Rovio game company, among other things.
He fell in love with Heponiemi more than a hundred years after Inha, just as passionately. He had already read Inha’s description earlier and when he heard that the place was for sale, he ran to see it.
So far, the economic turmoil has not caused a loss of students in music schools in Ostrobothnia. Three Southern Pohja municipalities decided to support families and offer children a free musical play school in the name of equality.
– We have three children who all have many hobbies: there is volleyball, music college, art school, ice hockey, soccer and gymnastics, many things.
In the Järvinen family, the children’s hobby opportunities are taken care of, even though everything in life seems to be getting more expensive at the moment.
– Money can be spent on worse than children’s hobbies. It is a conscious choice for us that children are allowed to play. I’d rather cut back on those own expenses than on the children’s hobbies. At this stage, at least we are still able to practice, Niina Järvinen states.
A survey conducted by Yle Pohjanmaa and Yle Kokkola to music schools in Ostrobothnia tells the same thing that Niina Järvinen says about her own children’s hobbies. So far, the tightening financial situation of families has not taken students away from music schools.
However, the economic turmoil is already somewhat reflected in the children’s hobbies, it is reported, for example, from Alajärvi Music College. Not very widely yet, but still visible.
At the moment, Alajärvi music academy does not offer free student places, but in Alajärvi as well as in other music schools in Ostrobothnia, efforts are made to help in various ways so that children’s hobbies are not limited to euros.
Almost all music schools say that they are flexible with tuition payment due dates.
Paavola estimates that there are also supporters of children’s hobbies from the immediate family circle.
– Grandparents probably also pay tuition fees.
In Härmänmaa, you can apply for a free student place at the quality of life board, but according to Paavola, there have been almost no applications.
