Capucine, Sen and Feliciana (CM1 students), Hugo, Andrew, Ugna and Chloé (CE2 students) interviewed Marie Tjana Picavet, a CM1 teacher on the Sausalito campus. During the interview, we discovered that Marie Tjana was also an international ice hockey referee. What's more, she has organized several field hockey sessions with students on the Sausalito campus. So we also invited her to the Ortega campus webradio for another interview conducted by Gr8 students Charlotte and Morgane, who asked her hockey-related questions. Marie Tjana shared her passion with the students.
Morgan, Lucio and Charlotte interview Lisa Gauthier, a Lycee parent, president and co-founder of Matter of Trust, an ecological public charity.
Matter of Trust is an ecological* public charity established in 1998 with the mission to link surplus with needs, matching nonprofit wish lists with in-kind donations online, or collecting hair, fur, and fleece clippings to make petroleum spill clean-up booms. Matter of Trust often collaborates with the San Francisco Department of the Environment in local, state, federal and United Nations events and projects.
"People ask why we only concentrate on the positive. It’s because good eco-news is very abundant and we’re busy happily meeting great innovators daily. Timing and access are vital for planet-friendly concepts to prevail. The key is trust, connecting with people and everyone being open to complementary ideas!"- Lisa Gauthier
