Still Waters in a Storm is that sweet pacific spot in the middle of an urban maelstrom. Here, finally, you can find the much sought-after pedagogical anomaly, where children of all ages (6 to 15 years old) are gathered together under the same roof and are nourished with the same love, profound respect and appetite for learning. The place is simply glorious! It’s not about adults or hierarchies – but about unalloyed mutual respect for one another and active listening. By all accounts, Still Waters shouldn’t work, but somehow the magic takes over and gives light and warmth to these kids’ lives and ours.
