What a glorious day today. One of the quietest places in the world is a UWC campus on a Saturday morning. Not this Saturday. We all got up to celebrate the first UWC Day. We all challenged ourselves to find ways to live out the UWC values in some way, either individually or in groups. And we were helped along by agreeing not to use any electronic devices or the internet from sunrise to sunset.
Here are some snapshots of what happened on this exciting day.
As the sun came up on the bay, students fired up the bread baking oven in anticipation of preparing bread for dinner for everyone on campus.
And breakfast, like all meals for the day, was sourced as locally as possible. Here we start off with pancakes with blackberries picked in the nearby woods.
And we challenged each other at the tables to write down what the UWC values mean for us – for today and beyond.
Students read a proclamation of thanks for the work they did the night before joining groups in Victoria marking the eve of the Day of Peace, 21 September.
We really were awake early on a Saturday morning, A beautiful one.
Meanwhile the bread baking oven (built by students last year) gets hotter and hotter.
The dough is rising.
Meanwhile challenges are underway. Here is a creative one – making our own instruments out of found materials. Can’t wait for the performances.
These materials will be transformed into a violin. Seriously.
And stones collected from all over the world are assembled into a stone and sand garden of peace.
A collage is underway outside our maintenance shed.
The cold weather will come eventually, so students split and stack wood for winter and our wood burning stoves.
Wood sheds filled: One. Injuries: Zero (other than blisters)
Visiting the recycling shed for more materials for instruments.
Steam rises off our cedar shakes as the sun gets higher in the sky.
More kindling needed for our oven.
An impressive accomplishment. Marta, from Ethiopia, working with Lori in the kitchen prepares the dough to make cheese rolls for lunch. The dough weighs more than Marta herself. An amazing accomplishment to form all these rolls given that Marta is blind.
Meanwhile, another challenge is underway. Here students are running from the College to Victoria, a 30km run.
They did it. And another group cycled to Victoria and back.
Enjoying the locally sourced dinner.
Who doesn’t like locally grown Swiss Chard?
Local corn, chicken raised in Metchosin a few kilometers from the College, lentils and corn grown in BC. And hand picked blackberries boiled down into a syrup to go with Island Farms ice cream.
A peaceful end of day on the bay.
Our dinner menu.
And Alex, who challenged himself to capture this day on video created this for us.
A sweet day. David
