A COMPLEXION CHANGE
Twice a year, the Senate of Berlin/Germany presents awards to persons who are engaged in voluntary community service and working with social and cultural organizations based in Berlin. On November 23, 2009 more than 100 volunteers received the Volunteer Certificate Award (FreiwilligenPass) presented at Berlin City Hall by the Senator for Integration, Labor and Social Affairs Carola Bluhm, assisted by the Undersecretary of State, Monika Helbig, Commissioner of the Berlin Senate for Volunteering in Civil Society. This document of appreciation and recognition is presented to the persons of Berlin, who have engaged in honorary undertakings and positions. One of the organizations eligible for nominating persons for the Volunteer Certificate Award is Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre, an international and intercultural organization, which was founded 1980, in Berlin/Germany. In November 2009 Fountainhead® was invited for the fifth time to participate in the award ceremony.

William Ernest Henley Invictus Aus dieser Nacht, die mich umhüllt, Wenn grausam war des Lebens Fahrt, Ob zornerfüllt, ob tränenvoll, Was kümmert's, daß der Himmel fern |
