click on the headline = link above to hear my song ‘Bitte’

(then press play on the media player)

wenn du die kleine Hand mir gibst, die so viel Ungesagtes sagt, hab ich dich jemals dann gefragt ob du mich liebst ?

ich will ja nicht dass du mich liebst, will nur dass ich dich nahe weiss, und dass du manchmal stumm und leis die Hand mir gibst

Hermann Hesse

I am participating in the PANIKPREIS competition of the Udo Lindenberg Foundation in Germany promoting the spirit and work of the poet and writer Hermann Hesse!

It was difficult to choose only  three entry songs as I had 6 songs containing lyrics or  prose of Hermann Hesse …

Here is the link to my page on the competition site –  feel free to give me a like  or sign my guestbook

One of a series of documentaries about child domestic workers by Daimon Xanthopoulos

Music by Stef Osadzinski and Ute Apfelstedt (Indian Flute)

HIDDEN SLAVES | child domestic workers from Daimon Xanthopoulos on Vimeo.

Worldwide, more than 15.5 million children are working as domestic worker. Almost half of them are under 15, according to statistics from the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Their work involves high risks, including long and exhausting days, the use of toxic cleaning and dangerous objects as knives and hot pans. Many of the children are also exposed to humiliation, physical or verbal abuse and they are easy victims of sexual abuse. The ILO defines child domestic work as one of the worst forms of child labour. The story of Tanja (9) from Bangladesh is the first in a serie of stories on the hidden slavery on children, happening today. With their stories I try to raise awareness on the issue that seems harmless to many people.
