CH-9428 Walzenhausen, further impressions on: www.antizensur.info?page=unterstutz Transformed Interests (by Ruth Elpida, age 12) In a time where children are fighting about what to watch on TV and are just sliding around on their chairs during the 20minute-long sermons at church begging for chewing-gum, I’m experiencing how, for example, for our 8-year-old Boasa it is the worst punishment, if she isn’t allowed to help with the clean-up from A to Z after an 11-hour-long assembly (where she’s already taken lots of notes). There are tears, if she is NOT allowed to help … Yes, we children are not lost in this big ministry … - it’s just the opposite: We are a crucial key why the set-up and clean-up progress so quickly. I for example was allowed to take away and get rid of tape strips from the floor with lots of other children everywhere in the hall. All the children were helping with lots of joy. In the end we were having several “tape-footballs”! We could also climb under the stage and loosen all the screws! Also the cables we could help with, rolling them up. That really is fun. Taken altogether all the laid-out cables of all the technical teams are as long (about 5.800 meters) as Mount Kilimanjaro is high! (This is the highest free standing mountain of the world!) One time they said “Go!” and all the people started running to the chairs to put them away. I also started to run and wanted to take a chair but someone took it before me. So I ran to the next row, but too late again… when I was arriving about 50 meters further back at the end of the hall, all the 1.500 chairs had already been removed without me having gotten hold of one myself! 54
