As a mother of two preschool kiddies living in a dense city, I am involuntarily bombarded with children courses – to dance, sing, cook, read, speak, paint, attend interviews etc etc, and they are named as “camps” over summer describing an intense version of the same thing… It’s amazing how businesses can come up with ways to suck money out of parents’ pockets in the name of education.
A friend of ours who live in London decided to send her 10-year old daughter to a 3-day camp in Bali this summer. WHAT???? London to Bali for a camp?
What does THAT camp teach seriously? What is the big fuss? In any case, we were invited to tag along and stay at their villa – so off we were in Bali last week for our family’s own getaway.
How is school or education remotely related to sus-lux? Well, we went to pick Emily up after her camp….
- Please read the instructions!
- Have you ever give a thought about where your poo and pee go after the toilet flushes, and wonder what you could do with them otherwise?
- Look how the vertical cross section of a bamboo can create such beautiful and natural patterns as the railing.
I yet to learn about the school’s curriculum, but being in the pure & beautiful environment and knowing the love and commitment to sustainability this school practices is an exceptional sus-lux to me.
Green School is founded by John Hardy (my idol and the man of sustainability who put words into action!!!!) I can only gather the school’s visual impact during my short visit. Fortunately, Mr Hardy himself talks about the vision and details of the school on TED. MUST WATCH!
