Yka is arriving at stilts. “I learned that here,” she says enthusiastically. “It’s very nice. Yesterday was my first day and I actually wanted to stay. Here are sweet children and very helpful people.”

Tomorrow is the big day: then they will perform for family and friends. Ede: “Every child gets tickets. They can hand them out. And think about it: there are gems in between. They are not only smiling children on stage: they can really do it.”
