I had once been on the faculty of a private school on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the mid 1960s. At that time we were seen as very multicultural and concerned about our physical and social environment, too. Our school went through some "growing pains" which I was told were also being experienced by Green School at its first anniversary. I left a donation for the Balinese Scholarship Fund, and a collection of project proposals for any teachers who felt they would like to co-create some learning programs with various American schools in Florida, Georgia, and even Quito, Ecuador. The interim headmaster did not feel the school staff were ready to take on anything like that then. It's almost 3 years later now. Green School is making marked progress in moving beyond the weakening effects of "culture shock" as many Bali newcomers become more integrated into their uniquely- created school and home environments. May Green School continue to thrive and earn its full CIS accreditation! Let me know if you have classes that would like to co-create projects with American schools. I'll help you link with interested classes so we can all learn from and with each other.

Putting these ideas into action - that's so impressive. You've inspired me to explore how these principles can be applied in my area which is Health. Like Al Gore did to you, you might just have ruined my complacent 'just-keep doing the same thing' medical career! And Thanks! Nick Hi John,

Thank you for your fascinating talk. Putting these ideas into action – that’s so impressive.

You’ve inspired me to explore how these principles can be applied in my area which is Health.

Like Al Gore did to you, you might just have ruined my complacent ‘just-keep doing the same thing’ medical career!

And Thanks!

How much can I donate to see my name on a bamboo pole and contribute to a scholarship? (lol!) I'll be visiting your school next month ... 4th week of February and staying in Ubud. Arriving in Ubud on the evening of 2/23. Anyhow, love what you are doing, love the school. Thinking of adopting a child from the Philippines and seriously considering enrolling the girl in Green School when she's old enough to attend. Anyhow, see you soon! Please let me know how much to donate. Thanks! -Eileen Hi, just saw the virtual tour. How much can I donate to see my name on a bamboo pole and contribute to a scholarship? (lol!)
