Wandering over to Lake Carnero where the placid waters shimmer beneath scattered, pinkish-orange clouds. An occasional skinny-dipper dives boldly in amidst the water reeds that line the edge of the lake. The Little Ones are already playing at Kiddie Village. Kiddie Village is a child-care center without walls. The only kind of things you can get into trouble for are hitting and not sharing.
Big People are welcome to come by anytime.
Felipe has focalized it for years. He and his wife and their five kids live in a school bus and travel the country feeding the homeless. For the moms, many of whom are raising their kids alone, Kiddie Village offers a break from the daily grind. It's at the center of the Gathering, both physically and spiritually. There's a tire swing, a swingset a handmade seesaw, and free rides on the Dream Mobile.
