Activities & Shift

Each day begins with nature. Children and villagers gather in the garden to plant, water, or harvest. It’s not just farming — it’s a hands-on way to learn about the land, the seasons, and sustainability.
Morning lessons take place outdoors, under trees or in bamboo shelters. The topics are fluid and follow the rhythm of nature — from observing insects and learning about plants, to making compost or discussing water and forests.
As noon approaches, everyone helps prepare lunch in the open kitchen. Food from the garden is cooked and shared together — a moment of community and gratitude.
In the afternoon, children are free to read, draw, play, or help care for the space. Sometimes, they make simple crafts or learn something new from visiting volunteers.
The day ends with a circle of reflection. Everyone gathers to share what they felt, learned, or simply noticed — a quiet practice to build empathy and presence.
