Together with Mati Sinisaar and guests from Norway, I made a visit to Kopli, The area where the children in Peeteli come from. The houses are about 100 years old, built for workers at a nearby factory. We visited a family living in Kopli. They dreamt about moving to the contryside, but the dreams failed. Bad circumstances forced them to leave their apartment and with two children they had to move to Kopli where noone charges you with rent. They live in the house that possibly is in best shape. Which don´t say to much...

The boy (about 3 years old) got a toy car from us, and after awhile, he started to play.

We brought some food, clothes and a child carrier, since Mati knew about a child to be born in Kopli about the day of our visit. The carrier came in handy.

When people saw Mati´s car, they came out of nowhere and asked for clothes and food. And they were greatful!

This house is now to be taken down. Not so long ago, some pepole lived here.

Two norweigan ladies.

Fire damages is here and there.

 One of the girls who once lived in Kopli came along. Here, she met her dog from those days

Some pictures from a visit in june 1998, you´ll find it here.
