The Drops Of Life in Malta

Dear Mr Tiitinen and Mr Vanhanen,

First of all we would like to congratulate you on the verses and music of the Play "The Drops of Life".

We are happy to inform you that we put up the play last June 12th on the occasion of our school's annual Prize-Giving Evening. The students were prepared by our Drama and Musci teachers and the play was a success. It was greatly appreciated by the parents present for the event. And we are sure that the central message got through. Our school does not have a hall, and so we used the school grounds as a natural setting: this helped to create the right atmosphere.

To commemorate World Environment Day, we planted a sapling of the Maltese National Tree (called "Gharghar") in the school yard. Besides, our pupils (who number just 120) organized fund-raising activities to collect funds to be used to 'adopt' more trees. So far they have managed to collect enough money to adopt 7 trees. These, together with other trees sponsored by other schools, will be planted during a National Tree-Planting event to be held some time next October.

We are attaching a few photos of the tree-planting and the play. The names of those who took part are the following (in case you need them for eventual inclusion in photo captions):
