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