I had to find something to explain about my country and its culture. Since I wasn't prepared, I had nothing on me and all i found was two crones in my pocket.

Berlinerin Antje, the head of the project says:
Tuuli chose the Two Crone note to represent Estonia and it's complicated identity. The note shows an image of the scientist Karl Ernst von Baer.This is Tuuli's text:
My name is Tuuli. It means Wind in Estonian. My younger brother is Tormis - Storm then. We have usual Estonian parents. My mother is 62 and she is still working full time. My father is 63. Average Estonian man lives 57 years. So my father is dead.
Average Estonian family has 1,2 children (so, we are like Italians - dieing out pretty quickly. Every year in Estonia is less kids going to school. Not enough people any more to keep the nation going). I have three and my brother has four kids now. Other than that, we are usual Estonian parents - I am divorced single mom and my brother never got married. Would we save our country and national identity for future? Or will our kids, when they become usual Estonian parents? We'll see.
