Collège Raoul Rebout in Montlouis are at the moment working on The Drops Of Life. School is in the process of studying the play and have worked, with the French and maths teacher of a year 7class (24 children, 11-12 years old). They are planning to plant a tree at school and also in the village where they live. The kids are very motivated. They started with the study of a book from Jean Giono called "Lhomme qui plantait les arbres" and are planning on making a blog about their work. Their premiere will take place at the beginning of May. The decor will be done by the children with the art teacher and the songs studied with the music teacher.
