Invitation to the open house in the train depot
Sunday, August 13, 2017 in Sissach
Dear friend of the El’Achai peace train,
So much is happening in this time that we do not know how to accommodate this in this newsletter. It goes on at all levels.
To show you this directly and to celebrate with you, we invite you when
the El’Achai Peace Train opens its heart gates
A colorful and exciting program begins at 11 o’clock in the El’Achai train depot located Reuslistrasse 2a, 4450 Sissach near Basel.
Overview of the program:
• The depot area and the buildings have been further restored and want to welcome you with open arms.
• Where the rails lead into the world past the locomotive shed, we planted the El’Achai Soul Tree, an 18-year-old beech. It is a small retreat with benches. Also there you are welcome.
• There will be a guided tour through the depot with Uwe, our Swiss association president and guardian of the vision of the Peace Train, to present and make you feel all this.
• Isabelle, our German association president, will give an entertaining lecture with a picture and film presentation in the big hall.
• The world’s most environmentally friendly steam locomotive, our BLUESTAR, will be waiting for you under steam.
• The three newly restored golden-blue sleeping wagons can be visited inside and outside. From now on they carry the permanent branding “El’Achai Friedenszug” and “El’Achai Peace Train”
• A freight car has been repainted by a creative team and this invites you to leave your colored handprints as a statement of peace.
• The El’Achai Peace Choir will sing one or two peace songs on the stage for all present.
• There will be a balloon event where we will all raise peace balloons together.
• A private film crew and the Swiss television will be present.
• Eating and drinking stalls on the premises.
• A colorful program awaits your whole family.
Peace begins where you arrive
You are very welcome

Whereas www.el-achai.com , the home page, contains more detailed information.
It still needs money for the summer event
We’ve gotten used saying that quite frankly. In our association we have to do so, because from where else is the money to come, except for membership fees and donations?
Even if you may not be able to come, there is still the possibility to make a contribution to this event with a euro or franc amount?
You can donate quite specifically for these things:
The living El’Achai Peace Train
greets and thanks you
