The village eats together in a dining hall, takes turns doing dishes and sorting garbage. We entertain each other with variety shows, dances and celebrations. Just getting here is a feat. You must take a boat up Lake Chelan, then a bus or snow track 12 miles into the heart of the mountains. It s no wonder school here is different.
Life is different.
Here, we know each other we see each other at meals, interacting with other people, doing other jobs. We see each other as multidimensional creatures. And this brings respect. Here, everyone is valued as an individual and we work together. We are a family.
