Photos from Kranj, Slovenia

Hello!

On the day of the world premiere our young actors were really excited because they were finally going to perform The Drops of Life at school: for their school-mates and other pupils. The excitement was even bigger at the end of the play, both - the actors and the audience enjoyed it very much. They all thought about one thing only: what is the solution to the problem? Numerous ideas regarding preserving the environment and the planet roused up in their little heads. However, they still take good care of the tree which we planted in September.

Soon we intend to perform the play at other schools and kindergartens too.

Cheers,

Milena Ristic

Premiere in Uzbekistan

Hi, all ENO schools! I am from Uzbekistan. Our prem was a great success. We have performed "Drops of Life" three times! I am sending you some pictures. The decoration of the play was wonderful as you can see, so were the costumes. We performed the play in English as I am an English teacher. We learned all the 4 songs. My pupils liked them all. Our play was shown not only to our pupils but to all the English teachers of our town. My pupils enjoyed playing their roles! Mike, thank you for the play and the songs! We all together made an important contribution to our common cause - environment's protection.

Premiere in Galati, Romania

The premiere day was like a holiday for both the students and teachers from our school and many more.
The Drops of Life has finally come to the old Danube city, Galati. The play was a real hit, a real "drop" with the purpose to save the environment. On everyone's faces you could read the joy and happiness of being together with all the other children from around the world.
A special day when all the children 's voices said only one message: "Save the environment! Save the future!"
We wish to thank Mika for supporting us in all that we have done.
Soon I will send you by mail the recording (on a CD) from the premiere on the 29th of May 2007.

Premiere "The Drops of Life" in Plunge

It was a really exciting day - the 29 of May, 2007!
The participants of the ENO project, the 5b and 6a formers, together with their class teachers Rasa and Violeta, and music teacher Dalia showed an unforgettable play "THE DROPS OF LIFE" for all the school community. We had a guest from the Environment agency Nerijus Ablingis who evaluated the play and our pupils' effort to do their best as to protect and save our nature. The words of the last song "There are no Walls" inspired everybody to have in mind how important it is to live, love and care of every living being in whatever corner it may be.
There were reporters from the newspapers and Television, some parents, too.

On the 29th of May 2007 Lithuania was among those 65 countries which took part in the world premiere of the play „The Drops of Life". The students of Class 8c in Vilnius „Juventos" gymnasium did their best to get ready for the performance. We invited teachers, students and parents to enjoy the event. The audience was rather excited and liked the performance very much. There was loud applause for the actors and singers. The performance was a great success. All those present understood that environmental protection is a really urgent problem and something must be done to solve it.

Thank you for joining us that enourmous group of participants and making us feel part of the world. It was an interesting and useful experience.

Premiere in Slovakia

We played Drops of life on 29th May 2007 and both teachers and children enjoyed performing the play! It was absolutely fantastic, kids were singing and performing with such a great enthusiasm! They are very young, kids from 7 - 10 years, so our performance was in Slovak language. It was raining all day, so our performance was taking place in a classroom.

Thank you for letting us know about drops of life, performing your play was an incredible experience for us!

Best wishes,
Veronika Bonkova and Daniela Benickova from Basic School Opatova from Slovakia

Premiere in Slovenia

Our common premiere went on smoothly in our school. Kids did the play with a lot of enthusiasm and Mrs. Irena Senica was very glad about everything. We had two teams of children performing in both languages (Slovenian and English) and it was really nice. I could tell that the kids enjoyed the play just as well if not even more than the rest of us. We invited a representative from our National Environmental Coordination Office and there was also a few members from the local community present. Our school also used this opportunity to sign up the document which grants us the Eco-flag.

As soon as I sort the photos out, I'll send you some.

Greetings J.Kopar

Premiere at GS LETEA Bacau, Romania
