PEACE CHILD – ALPHA OMEGA HISTORY David Gordon was brought up in the West End of London, next door to the Shaftesbury theatre. His first draft of Alpha Omega was called Lords of the Universe and was conceived as a Broadway/West end musical. Following the recording of a major double album featuring many ‘stars’ of popular music, offers came in from both Broadway and the West end; these were turned down. David, whose main interest lies in religion and philosophy, later felt that stage musicals trivialized the work and its message. Alpha Omega is inspired by the teachings of the great Prophets and seeks to re-state their message for the world today. That message is a strong and definite call for peace, and the unity of all faiths. It tells us that through love, forgiveness and understanding, we can save our world and secure a future for our children. David Gordon with his colleague Richard Sharpey and composer/arranger Richard Arnell transformed the work into a classical oratorio. The premiere was in Coventry cathedral in 1980 as part of the 40th commemorations of the blitz of Coventry. Ely cathedral saw part of this work re-created in Peace Child - Alpha Omega. Brigadier Michael and Eirwen Harbottle, who led the World Disarmament Campaign (WDC), saw the Coventry performance. They connected Gordon to Bernard Benson, who’s Peace Book told a story, set in the future looking back to the present, about children bringing peace to the world. For Eirwen, Michael, Gordon and Benson, the idea of a ‘celebration of Peace’ to replace all the negative campaigning against politicians was the inspiration for Peace Child. By a miracle, the Royal Albert Hall became free for the evening of 30th October 1981 - the last night of un disarmament Week. Gordon booked it immediately and persuaded David Woollcombe (Eirwen’s son-in-law), to write an original script marrying the story of the Peace Book with the music of Alpha Omega, adding some new songs. Three thousand five hundred people attended the spectacular premiere of Peace Child produced by Gordon, Woollcombe and Rosey Simonds, with Susannah York as the Storyteller. David Gordon was determined that the message of Peace Child should not die. He sent David Woollcombe to the USA where, together with Rosey, the staff and students of the duke Ellington School and Search for common Ground, Peace Child was premiered at Washington DC’s prestigious Kennedy Centre on December 2nd 1982. Bernard Benson’s Peace Book was written at the request of Canada’s ambassador to the un to draw attention to the subject of the Soviet/American cold War and arms race. Peace Child became a leader in the citizen diplomacy movement dedicated to ending the cold War. over 7.000 performances of Peace Child were produced, culminating, in 1986, in the first Soviet-American youth exchange, where Peace Child was performed by Soviet and American youth in 12 cities across Bernard the USA with a final performance back at the S. Benson Kennedy Centre. This blasted a hole in the 1922-1998 iron curtain through which over 100 US-Soviet Peace child tours passed until the Cold War was finally agreed to be over. A key element of each show was that the cast would be required to research the issues and re-write the dialogue to include their ideas. A Study Guide was produced for this purpose. Using this, producers in South Africa, Ireland, the Middle East, Central America and many other conflict areas produced their own versions of the show.

Peace Child International. Following 7 years in the USA and 3 in the Netherlands, PCI set up its residential headquarters in Buntingford, Hertfordshire, from which a team of international interns run its programmes. The UK-registered charity has grown to become one of the largest networks of youth-run organisations in consultative status with the United Nations. Starting in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, it has produced over 30 books and educational materials, mostly sponsored by the UN and the European commission, on sustainable development, human rights, climate change and other key global issues. All are written and illustrated by young people. The latest, Energy Revolution was produced for the Copenhagen Climate Summit. For the past 8 years Peace child has run a programme in UK schools, sponsored by DEFRA, to promote sustainable lifestyles - an initiative that has been replicated in several other countries.

Songs WAKE UP MY HEART (national, arr. C.Kreek and A.Saluveer) Mu süda, ärka üles Ja kiida Loojat lauldes, Kes kõik head meile annab Ja muret ikka kannab. Mu Jumal, nii kui ööse Mind hoidis sinu käsi, Nii päeva ka mind kanna, Mull’ inglid varjuks anna. Ka töös mind ise aita, Mis õige, mulle näita! Su hoolde kõik ma jätan, Mis iial ette võtan. Su heldus jäägu mulle, Mu süda templiks sulle: Su sõna mind siin toitku, Teed taeva poole näitku.

HE FLIES TOWARD THE HONEYTREE Autorid: Peep Sarapik ja Juhan Liiv Ta lendab lillest lillesse ja lendab mesipuu poole; ja tõuseb kõuepilv ülesse – ta lendab mesipuu poole. Ja langevad teele ka tuhanded, veel koju jõuavad tuhanded ja viivad vaeva ja hoole ja lendavad mesipuu poole. Nii hing, oh hing, sa raskel a’al – kuis ihkad isamaa poole; kas kodu sa, kas võõral maal – kuis ihkad sa isamaa poole! Ja puhugu vastu sull’ surmatuul ja lennaku vastu sull’ surmakuul: sa unustad surma ja hoole ning tõttad isamaa poole!

CHILD FOR A DAY I was a child who ran full of laughter I was a child who lived for a day My eyes full of sunshine My heart full of smiles I was a child for a day. We were the children who ran in the morning We were the children who laughed at the sun Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom We were the ones we would say. We’re getting older as time goes by A little older every day We are the children of yesterday. We are the men who worry of nothing We are the men who speak without aim Who listen to no one yet speak of their wisdom We were the ones we would say. We’re getting older as time goes by A little older every day We are the children of yesterday.

REACH OUT! Reach out for a star! Come out from where you are Show me what you can do Believe in me, I believe in you! Reach out for your dream It’s not as hard as it may seem Together we can make it through Together - me and you! Wake up -open our eyes, This is our world, our paradise. Reach out, don’t be afraid Come on now, we’ll find a way There’s a whole new world for us to see There’s a universe in you and me. Reach out, put your hand in mine! Oh see! - see how we shine! Together - we’ll make it through, Together me and you! Don’t be shy, just be yourself! You are your greatest wealth! Reach out for a star! Come out from where you are Show me what you can do Believe in me, I believe in you! Show me what you can do Believe in me, I believe in you!

FINAL WORDS BY SILLAMÄE SOCIETY FOR CHILD WELFARE FOUNDER AND TRUSTEE IRINA GOLIKOVA It is important to ask ourselves – do we value being educated, know a lot about cultures and in general are we orientated towards self-fulfilment. Or do we decide to be lazy and let life go as it is. Every one of us is sometimes not satisfied with life. We with our organisation have decided to take responsibility for our own environment and encourage others to implement their own initiatives. The purpose of this project was to initiate positive change towards openness and tolerance. It’s easy to be naive and hide your head in the sand. Life is full of complicated challenges, but meeting them head-first will help to see life from another angle and find effective solutions for problems. One possibility for this is taking part in NGO work. Everyone is expected in our projects and programs - all that matters is will! Ernest Hemingway wrote: “time is all we have”. Time won’t wait, use it wisely!

Yors faithfully,

Irina Golikova Founder and a trustee Sillamäe Society for Child Welfare

PCI also organizes the World Youth Congress series promoting Youth-led Development and exploring, with youth, government, UN and other agencies, the question: “What is the most effective role for youth in the effort to achieve sustainable development?” This is an exciting bi-annual event bringing together youth from all over the world and giving them the chance to have a dialogue with the major power holders. The Fifth World Youth Congress will take place in Istanbul this summer. E-Genclik Association – E-genclik means ‘E-youth’ in Turkish.
