Baldiņasenāsspēles

Aldonis Baldiņš was born on September 9, 1937 in the home of"Medņu" Dundagas parish. He received the most abundant childhood lessons from grandmother Carlina Abol. She was a contributor to the dough and folk songwriter, a narrator of local thematics and a community of her own. Baldiņš started school at Pūņu primary school. On March 25, 1949, the Baldi family was deported to Siberia. The boys got out of their native land, the countryside, and emotionally stopped the accumulated childhood memories. School years continued at the Russian school with a strange and incomprehensible Soviet culture. In the summer, working at the time worked hard for his age to earn winter clothes - he helped his father by hand-pulling a saw to cut logs from logs, to make a firewood for school, to cut strains, and to move burnt bricks in a brick cement. On April 17, 1956, the Baldi family was removed from the commandant supervision by issuing a badge without the right to return to his former residence in the Latvian SSR. Aldon and his eldest sister Silvia refused to complete the passport table and signed an exit point to any geographical point in the Soviet Union, with the exception of Latvia.In 1963, Aldonis Baldiņš graduated from the Department of Handicraft at the Riga Applied Arts Secondary School. For 28 years he has worked in the art complex"Dailrada", turning the tree and making wooden toys. In this position he trained his disciples - the successors of his post. Now, playing ancient rural games in the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum, attracts both children and adults.
