Dear Marilyn

The program with the 50 children of Globetree from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Sweden together with the 50 children from the Tree Theatre Group of Malaysia became a great success! All 100 children performed Our Uniting Water Ceremony and made the audience sing Let us Join – You Can Count on US! – directly after the speech of the Vice President of Kenya.

The Minister of Environment from Sweden, Kenya and Algeria participated in the dialogue under the Children’s Tree together with the Ambassador of Malaysia a<nd many mayors. The Connected Dreams Sculpture of the Future Vessel at the WorldCiC in Stockholm was the welcome for all delegates at the entrance of the United Nations, Nairobi. Also the program of the UNEP Governing Council Meeting was called Connected Dreams.

All became a wonderful success!
