Perception of death in the eyes of young gipsy children
KAŇKOVÁ, Tereza
Title: Perception of death by Romani children of younger school age This thesis deals with perception of death, life after death and funeral rites by Romani children of younger school age. The theoretical part describes how death of a human is generally perceived and how it is perceived by children and the adults. The thesis then characterizes Romani culture and perception of death and life after by Romani people. The aim of the thesis was to identify perception of death and life after death by Romani children of younger school age. The practical part of the thesis utilizes qualitative research strategy applied by means of the semi-structured interview technique complemented by drawing techniques, which however served for getting into contact with the respondent, not for the analysis. The research was performed in the environment of the low-threshold facility V.I.P of the Municipal Charity České Budějovice. The target sample consisted of 10 Romani children of six to twelve years of age. We may say upon the results obtained during the research itself that Romani children do not have identical perception of death and life after death. Although they believe in the existence of heaven and hell their notion is diverse and individual (from positive perception of hell to sole belief in heaven or sole belief in hell). Belief in reincarnation does not occur among the respondents. Death is perceived as personified, sometimes it merges with perception of the god or is perceived naturalistic as a consequence of illness and old age. Soul is also perceived individually, some of the respondents do not believe in soul at all, some believe that soul is the good and only good people have it, for others it is a synonym of the heart. The respondents admit visits of the death in the lives of the alive. Romani people use funeral rites different from those of the majority society, which the children respondents described although not all of them have been at a funeral. The results of my work may be used by social workers involved in work with Romani children and young people. A funeral substantially affects lives of the Romani people and it is necessary for social workers to be sufficiently informed on this event and related habits.

Education and integration of people from disadvantaged social groups focusing on the Roma minority in the Tabor region.
ŘEHÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The Czech Republic belongs to countries with a high (absolute and relative) number of Roma population. This population performs one of the most populous minority in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless a great part of this ethnic lives at the edge of the society. Low education, resulting in high unemployment and then in dependance on doles and allowances are supposed to be main causes of this situation. There are lots of various nonprofit organizations which focus on education and integration of this ethnic. The attitude to education of this ethnic may be considered as discriminated. The aim of this thesis is to map a net of organizations dealing with Roma population problems and compare these organizations in their abilities to obtain funds. Mainly I wanted to compare success of Roma and non-Roma organisations in obtaining grants and subsidies. Furthemore I wanted to find out whether potential clients - Roma ihabitants - know about these organisations. Two main hypotheses were set according to the aim . The first hypothesis supposed that Roma organisations are less successful in obtaining funds. The second one supposed that Roma community in the town of Tábor is not familiar with the existence of organizations dealing with Roma problems. To prove the first hypothesis I used a method of data secondary analysis, basicly from an annual register of chosen organisation and from grant proceeding results. To prove the second hypothesis two quantitative research work were performed via a method of directed interview created for needs of this Bachellor thesis (encl. 1,2). Data were being collected from 23 January to 11 April 2008. Another method used for my thesis was questionnaire (enc. 3) processed in February 2008. Results of the research work confirmed that Roma organisation is less successful than both non- Roma organisations. In the estimated period {\clqq}Verdan`` organisation from the chosen organisations obtained the lowest funds and its success in per cent was lower than in compare with non-Roma organisations. The second hypothesis was not confirmed. More than a half of respondents know at least one of the organisations dealing with Roma problems. This topic has not been dealt with in the area of Tábor. Results of my thesis may be helpful for organisations providing services to Roma community. To achieve this goal, my thesis will be presented at the web sites of the town of Tábor.
