A request for “a donation that will change our little world”

As it does every year around Christmas, the “School Garden” elective course (WU) presents the results of a special project in the teachers’ lounge.

Ratatouille, oregano salt, paper goods, and fabric items from Tanzania—such as table runners and lavender sachets—are on display there for sale—all lovely little items that make great Christmas gifts.

 

Learning to Keep a Global Perspective

“We live by the principle of sustainability,” explains María Ramos, a teacher at Steinmühlen. “We at the ‘
‘ don’t just learn how to cook or garden—we also learn how to manage resources and maintain a global perspective. We organize ourselves like a company that shares its profits with our partner school, the One World School Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. By selling our homemade products, we support the chicken project, which enables the school cafeteria there to be self-sufficient in eggs and chicken meat.” The fabric for the products also comes from Tanzania.

The student group to the school community: “Feel free to take whatever your heart desires and leave a donation that will change our little world.”
