Finally Rain!

After weeks of dryness and long-standing heat with temperatures over 86 °F, the time has come at last at the end of February: thick cloudbanks cover the Beluga School for Life premises. What still seemed to be bright in the morning became compact and grey gradually throughout the day until it finally started to rain in the afternoon.
The up and coming football players take advantage of the long awaited and very welcomed cool-down to finally pursue their favorite sport again. Since the very popular pastime activity among the BSfL students could only be played in limited amounts over the last few weeks due to the extreme heat and dryness, the football players among the children in the BSfL were especially happy about the cooling moisture. Still, even when it only rains about three days on average in February, and usually only for a short period of time; the children use this time immediately so they can finally have a good romp again.

First successes at betterplace.org

A sewing workshop is to be established in the Beluga School for Life so that expensive school uniforms, costumes, and clothing no longer need to be purchased. At the same time, an additional means of revenue can be generated through the sale of self-sewed textiles. For this purpose, the Beluga School for Life also needs materials, fabric, and tables in addition to sewing machines.

By using the platform betterplace.org, which helps nonprofit projects with the acquisition of donations, the first sewing machine could already be financed. With this success the Beluga School for Life takes one step closer to self-sufficiency. If you would also like to support the progress of the sewing workshop, you may directly do so at http://de.betterplace.org/projects/2455-beluga-school-for-life.

Youngest Take Exploration Tour through the BSfL

With boundless energy, the youngest of the BSfL are exploring their surroundings and are unstoppable in doing so. They set forth along with their caretakers to explore the flora and fauna in the Organic Farming Center. Fruits, vegetables, and herbs are planted on the school grounds – exciting features for an exploration tour. A goatherd belongs to this area as well where the animals serve as a “natural lawn-mower”. The children gazed at the little goats in an especially interested and trusting manner. It was a great experience on an overall exciting fieldtrip-day, for which they did not even have to leave the BSfL.

BSfL is official supporter of the Earth Charter

The Earth-Charter is a declaration of 16 fundamental ethical principles for the regard of nature, the takeover of the responsibilities for the environment, and the aspiration for social and economic/ justice as well as for a worldwide culture of peace and togetherness. Now the Beluga School for Life is also an official supporter of the Earth Charter. The BSfL profits from it with various work materials and project suggestions of the Earth Charter initiative. Their reference book for educators and materials for working with children are used as the basis for workshops, projects, and lessons relating to the Earth Charter. A catalog of measures forms the basis of implementing the principles.

In the preamble of the charter it says: The Earth Charter declares that the environmental, economic, social, cultural, ethical, and spiritual challenges and hopes of mankind are closely interconnected. The challenges towards freedom, justice, and peace are closely connected with the protection of the environment and the worry about economic well-being. Only with a global partnership and shared responsibility can inclusive solutions be found. Some supporters of the Earth Charter are UNESCO and the nature conservation organization IUCN among others.
