[sl] World Fit For Children Team Posts on Their Build: Zen
Each team in the World Fit For Children competition is required to post at least one blog entry about their project. The following is the entry from the team that calls itself: "Zen"
- Hello everybody! This is Vivian Vacirca, representing team Zen.
Our build is a combination of a school and orphange. A boarding school, if you will. Throughout the build are signs of a safe place for children: Clean housing and plumbing, Educational facilities, Food, attention and affection, and appropriate entertainment. The build is modern and pleasing to the eye, creating a pleasant enviornment. Flowers and pictures decorate the entry hall, also contributing to a happy space.
We wanted to illustrate the concept of "safe, secure, and healthy enviornments for children in families, communities, and nations"(pg 9, line 19) in all of its many aspects. We built a home and a school to represent that kind of environment. In each part of the build that covers one of the aspects of a healthy and safe environment, there is a notecard giver. The creation of the build as a whole took several days of construction, and then more of tweaking and adding details.
