The ROKPA-children with Andreas Vollenweider
dance, music and pure joy of live from the Himalaya
For the 25th anniversary, the Swiss charity organization ROKPA is inviting some of their children from Nepal to visit Europe.
These children will be the ambassadors, representing the many thousands of children, who over twenty-five years have come from the streets, found the warmth of a home, medical attention and education at one of ROKPA’s institutions. The show of these young and passionate dancers and singers will contain traditional as well as modern western elements and it becomes quite clear, that the dreams and hopes of these children are not so different from our kids...
Andreas Vollenweider will provide the musical framework for the children and will accompany them on various of his instruments.
ROKPA is extensively introducing their history and current activities with a multimedia presentation.
“...ROKPA has helped hundred thousands of people in desperate need, being almost completely unknown to the broader public. It doesn’t take a mathematic genius to realize the effect they could have, if ROKPA would be better known.
To me, the beauty of ROKPA is, that it feels like family, it is about closeness, directness, integrity and transparency. And suddenly we become aware of a true phenomenon; as we are giving, at the very end we get much more in return...”
