  • Npo Greenwood
    Today’s Education Shapes Tomorrow’s Future NPO GREENWOOD “I want to go camping all year! Then we can make our own food, carve our own dinnerware, and maybe even build our own house!” Words like these from children living in the city are what led us to establish the Daidarabotchi life lessons classroom. Four children and three adults came together with the intent to “live by their own efforts.” Every night, we got together and shared our hopes and fears with the group. I Want to Go Camping All Year! We talked about what kind of house we wanted to build and how we would build it. However, building a house is not the same as building a life. Every day, the children made their meals, did their own cleaning and laundry, and went to school. We used our combined knowledge and skills in order to make our dream a reality, trying and failing over and over again. NPO Greenwood, as well as the core values that we uphold, started from this life that we built together. The original main building, built out of thinned wood and wood from telephone poles and railroad ties Photographed at the 1997 Daidarabotchi Fare-welcome Party 1 │ Introduction Introduction │ 2 In order to build a community where everyone can live in peace, we raise children to become well-rounded human beings.

It occurs as bright yellow hemispherical aggregates up to 2 mm in diameter composed of minute lath-like crystals in association with very minute rhombic crystals of waylandite. The specimens were collected from an outcrop of gold ore deposit. An electron microprobe analysis for the most Te-rich dukeite gave Bi2O3 85.77, CrO3 11.83, TeO3 0.81, 6+ 6+ H2O (calc.) 1.66, total 100.07 wt.%. The empirical formula is: Bi23.98(Cr 7.71Te 0.30)Σ8.01O57(OH)6·3H2O on the basis of O＝66 excluding H2O. The strongest eight lines of the X-ray powder diffraction pattern obtained by using a Gandolfi camera [d in Å (I) (hkl)] are: 7.67 (10) (002), 3.84 (12) (004), 3.77 (14) (220), 3.38 (100) (222), 2.69 (31) (224), 2.56 (8) (006), 2.18 (16) (600), 2.12 (9) (226).
