Save Water - Save lives


Last April I went to England for a Salvation Army Congress. It was really good but apart from the meetings there was something else I couldn't forget. Some people presented a S.A. project called Save Water - Save lives. With 10 pounds you can give water to a family in Africa or Asia. For life. I was so impressed and felt that we could do something like that in Switzerland too. And that's what we did.
With our youth group we organized a fantastic evening. We decorated our hall with bamboos, lights, a beautiful bar, a lounge, and vases with water and candels. Groups of girls came to dance, we had a big band that played wonderfully although they only practiced once, barkeepers that mixed delicious drinks (The titi-drink, named after my friend Martina, The Maje, named after Maya and me and another one...)... Two teenagers did a wonderful job presenting the programm in swiss german (I managed to translate in french... see pic.)! And at about 22:00 I presented the project in french and Nathanaël presented it in Swiss German.
People bought many bottles and gave a lot of money.
I will never forget it! It was an excellent evening and some of my friends came. Thank you guys!!!

THE END

So, it's over! The last week, the last day, the last hour came and passed by leaving nothing but memories. It has been a great time and I am so thankful I could enjoy it that much.
Now, I'll have no more teaching adventures for a while. But stay tunned. There's more to life, then a job!
