Heartfelt Engagement<br />
A large project such as this dance show is impossible<br />
to set up without the help of generous sponsors, innumerable<br />
volunteers and selfless patrons. We thank all of<br />
our supporters very much and in particular Andreas<br />
Vollenweider. He was responsible for the music and<br />
invited his musician friends and presenters to participate<br />
in the project. They came on stage and acted as warm-up<br />
performers for the former homeless children without any<br />
compensation. The children, though, deserve our biggest<br />
thank you: They are living proof that people are able to<br />
make the most of their lives if they are given the chance<br />
– through the help of ROKPA and our sponsors.<br />
Success Story in Comments and Numbers<br />
The performance by the childrens stunned through its<br />
professionalism, managed to get under the skin and<br />
touched hearts. This was confirmed by the feedback from<br />
the audience which often had tears in their eyes.<br />
The audience became quiet as the children removed their<br />
festival robes and were left with only their street clothes<br />
in the final scene. It was meant as a challenge to help all<br />
those thousands of children who are still in need of aid.<br />
The audience understood. In May alone, donations<br />
increased by a threefold in the areas around the show<br />
venues. The number of new supporters doubled. A total<br />
of 1,524 spectators came to see the show.<br />
