The school takes a holistic angle of what teachings can be. Based on sustainability, first the building material uses a locally grown bamboo that fits the climate and helps the local farmers. Energy is produced by alternatie sources including a bamboo sawdust hot water and cooking system, a hydro-powered vortex generator and solar panels. In an effort to give students a hands on experience, each student has a small part of the garden to grow vegetables and send it to the kitchen for their lunch. Their curriculum caters for today's need to be at par but brings also a valuable understanding of what needs to be done in the future.
In their website they posted a quote of the week:
"Tell me and I'll forget, Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I'll understand." Native American saying

Dear Sarah,
I replied to your comment at the DAI blog. The link you posted only took me to the main page of the collection. So I suggested that you comment again with the number of the object...LNS (number) (letter).
Excited to see what your pick was :)
Haya
Thanks Haya for letting me know on my blog what happens on yours!
I am also very thrilled on this interactive way to make the Sabah Collection visible.
It is so rich and plenty...
hope you will find my pick of interest...
Sarah
