But its true i dont have any academic training in this area. This is what passion is what helps us get to know our instruments and to learn how to play with us. Everyone here shares that same passion for Classical Music barely anyone has professional training instead they all trained right here together a missile construct. A missile im happy here and i have a lot of friends. Started learning the violin at the age of 12 and right from the start she was determined to join an orchestra.

Finns family lives in a modest house her father sings in a choir and was supportive of his daughter learning an instrument it was only possible because the orchestra subsidize the cost of the lessons but the conditions were far from ideal. Number the clubs there were 30 students but only 2 violins in the mornings i went to school and in the afternoon i had violin lessons.

This week in global ideas were off to jordan in a country where water is extremely scarce to find out more about the challenges of Water Management in an arid region are reported on his fed met people near the capital amman. Waters his families all of to ease every day. But water only comes out of the mains once a week on wednesdays. So thats when theyre always busy stocking up. Everybody here has a tank on the roof or a sister in the garden. It often doesnt rain for weeks on end here. The village of a new shot is 50 kilometers from the capital amman water from the mains just one day a week is standard across jordan. When there are problems at the water works it sometimes doesnt show up at all even on one stays. Steady how theres no water it affects everybody and everything. In the cleaning the family and the animals the olive trees and all the other trees. Water wasnt always as scarce as it is today dallas father ybarra remembers when it was plentiful thank him from a nearby river. But those times are long gone. By any of the 1960 s. There was always enough water. That we had a big fat 12 inch pipe from the river. But bennett was kept in 1904 because it was less and less water in the river. That river bloody i watch has no shrunk to a mere trickle. Its the same in most parts of the country. Very little rain falls here and water is extremely scarce jordan is one of the driest countries on earth. At the same time its population is growing so demand for water in the cities has soared in model for example. 200000 people live in the area at an elevation of 800 meters. Water has to be pumped here from lower lying regions hundreds of. Kilometers away that takes lots of equipment and energy and its expensive the countrys aging water supply system heats up around 15 percent of all the electricity used in jordan and a lot of the water it transports is lost due to leaks.

High x.

C o 2 equivalent. As well so. There are other stations and we are working to cover the whole cycle as one. Snarky shot him runs a small commercial garden he has greenhouses a few outdoor planting beds and of course his own reservoir. And. The problem is simply not enough water and thats why i have to use mostly recycled waste water i mean. Its ok and its cheap but it is wastewater. That is you know much. About without it and my plants wouldnt grow that be nothing left no reason. But some hajek says everyone here is concerned about the water supply and all are looking forward to improvements. We believe that in the future a community will feel this effect as well but their services but their maintenance and quantity of water. Hajek stops by the family home.
