All elementary schools in Hengelo (Netherlands) which is a total of 1163 kids have performed “Thriller” moves in the market square of the city yesterday.
The performance was followed by a smaller group singing “We Are the World” while all other kids got in formation to form a big heart!
Here a little video:
The project was initiated by teacher (and obviously fan of Michael Jackson) Paul Smidt. Paul is well known in the “Thrill The World” organisation and he has organised MJ event in his home town since 2009. The even was to raise funds for the charity “The Ronald McDonald House” and to share the message of peace created by Michael Jackson. This year was pretty special as this event was also paying homage to the album Thriller which turned 35!
Well-done to all of those who participated (and those who donated!)

The cultural impact of Michael Jackson just grows and grows – thanks to fans like Paul.
