Far far there's this little girl...
she was praying for something big to happen to her...

Actually, she is not a little girl and she wasn´t praying. She came home from school and checked her e-mails as usual . There was a completely new experience waiting for her.

Before an amazing week in Guildford, she thought she was the only person who cared about the future of our world. Then she got the opportunity to see 59 diffrenet ways of being active, 59 ways of achieving her goals. Honestly, that was the best week she has ever had.

She could finally talk about the situation in Iraq, Kosovo, Brazil...  with someone who lives there...She made you realize that Slovakia and Slovenia are two different countriesJ

Despite living in the middle of nowhere, in a country that nobody knows, she knows that there is always someone to talk to....When she had to leave, someone told her:  This is not the end, this is the beginning...

Now, she knows she is not the only „weird“ person in this worldJ

Far far there´s this little girl...

She is praying for something BIGGER to happen to her..

In two weeks, I am travelling to Strasbourg due to some work in the European Parliament committee. I am really excited and I hope those "EU people" will realize how strong the young ones!!!  As you know, dance is my biggest passion, but now, I am absolutely tired because of everyday´s  practice for the National championship in June.

The best thing is that after the Guildford week I met Lukáš who took part at the Greenwich Forum 2007 (we are almost from the same town!!!).  We are going to organize a similar event for young people in Slovakia.

I hope you are all doing good and you didn´t lose your power!

Love and Peace,  

Lucia
