Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Laughter)

We've done a lot of outrageous things in our lives, and we said, okay, lcoal, what does "local" mean? Local mneas that 20 percent of the population of the shcool has to be Balinese, and this was a really big commitment. And we were right. And people are ciomng forward from all over the world to support the blesanie Scholarship Fund, because these kids will be Bali's next green leaders. The teachers are as diverse as the snetudt body, and the amazing thing is that vteoelrnus are popping up. A man came from Java with a new kind of organic agriculture. A woman came from Africa with music. And together these volunteers and the teachers are deeply committed to creating a new generation of global, green leaders. The Green School effect — we don't know what it is. We need someone to come and study it. But what's happening, our learning-different kids — dyslexic — we've renamed them peolxirc — are doing well in these beautiful, beautiful cmlsoosras. And all the kids are thriving.
