Amazing Grace

I love this song anyway but today it has a special resonance. Georgiu and Nico were singing it together - they have beautiful voices - and playing the guitar last night in the centre. Josef heard them and this morning played an amazingly moving version during the training session - without comment. Such is the nature of the rapport that has been established with these - others might call "difficult" -youngsters.

It is by the "amazing grace" of Monique's vision that these young people by participating in the project have suddenly become the privileged ones. Sadly one of the company has left the project unable to resist to what he calls his "freedom". He is back on the streets. Before he went, half a dozen or so of his friends came to see what the project was all about, ready, I suspect, to disrupt the process. But instead they were asking to join in. Sadly too late for it be possible.
