The Mosaic Project
Seriously. Probably one of the best things I'm ever going to get myself into.
I get to go to Napa for a week and pretty much be a cabin leader for 4th and 5th grade girls. I get to teach them about how great diversity is and how they can change the future with just being friends with one another and eliminating prejudice and stereotyping. I love the entire concept, I love it all.
This weekend I went on the Training Session for the cabin leaders who were kids from all around the Bay Area from all different High School. 22 of us walked in strangers, and we all walked out GREAT friends. Like, literally, great great friends.
The most adorable thing about it, is there are so many things we get to play along to. There are the future people who are going to come in every morning at breakfast. They are the great great great great ect ... grand kids of some of the staff, and they come and introduce the theme. For example: Wednesday is Communication and Conflict Resolution Day, so the Future people are going to walk into the dining hall with laptops, not speaking, only through the laptops, they're also angry at each other. The goal for the day is to learn how to communicate with people better and how to resolve conflicts. There is even a son that goes to it. "Fighting is not the solution, try conflict resolution!" It's adorable.
There are also fairies. The kids there claim to see Fairies all around the camp. The camp director, Lara, even old us that one session, while running, she heard music coming from one of the bushes, and stopped and looked, and found a tiny fiddle, but put it back because she had a feeling she should. One cabin even found a small small small little bracelet, too small to fit on a human. They returned it to this place at the camp called the Enchanted Circle, which is where most of the kids claim to see the fairies.
But the fairies are not the point. I love this whole concept. I just thought I'd share a super extra watered down explanation of what I love at the moment.
Oh ... and on a musician look alike note ... the Cub Scouts leader man dude from Church... LOOKS LIKE ALEX TURNER'S LONG LOST AMERICAN TWIN. And I'm about to go and try to snap a really random picture. Heh. |
