With the help of Christian who is working for the GIZ, I got the opportunity to work 

with the An Giang Vocational College. On monday we began with two speeches

 in front of 500 people each, about the Fremdteilchen. One hundred members of the 

Youth Union of the college collected plastic for us the next day while we built 

the framework for our biggest and final sculpture. During the following days, some

of them as well as other students, too, helped us in their spare hours to tinker it together. 

I must admit, the week at teh school was the most stressful time of the project, but it also

opened a new perspective to me about possible further trash sculpture cooperation works.

Apparently, the sculpture of a big woman with a realistic head was too intense

for the people of the harbor and the market. A bunch of drunken men took care of our sweetheart

in the nighttime. I don`t want to know what they did to her before burning her body. 

It must have been an impressing fire though.

The boat crew`s motherly heart Diem says bye bye.
