Passion Fruit Tree Planting – Soil & Method
Today, we planted passion fruit saplings using a simple, sustainable soil method.
What we used:
How we did it:
What we learned:
Healthy plants depend on healthy soil, good drainage, and patient care.
By improving soil naturally, we reduce the need for chemicals and support long-term growth.
This activity connects to AIMS sustainability values—awareness, responsible action, and learning from nature.
Strong soil today means strong vines tomorrow.
A Soft Egg, A Sustainable Lesson Today, our learning came from a quiet moment of observation. Our hen laid her second egg, and it was soft to the touch. The day before, there was no egg, and today the weather was heavily rainy, with little sunlight. Instead of seeing this as a problem, we treated it as an opportunity to observe, question, and learn. Through this experience, we understood that sustainability begins with understanding natural systems. Eggshells require calcium, and calcium absorption depends on sunlight. Rainy days reduce sunlight, and in new laying hens—whose bodies are still adjusting—this can result in soft-shelled eggs. This is a natural, temporary condition, not a failure. This small incident connected us to larger AIMS themes: Awareness: Understanding how weather, nutrition, and biology interact Innovation: Responding with simple, nature-based solutions rather than artificial fixes Mindfulness: Practicing patience, observation, and ethical care for animals Sustainability: Recognizing that food quality, animal wellbeing, and environment are deeply connected Our response was guided by these values: providing natural calcium, maintaining a dry nesting space, and continuing to monitor with care rather than intervention. The goal was not to maximize output, but to respect the learning process of nature.… Read more »
Today’s Learning Story: The Soft Egg Lesson
Today, we learned something important from a very small and gentle moment.
Our hen laid her second egg, and when we held it, we noticed it was soft, almost rubber-like. Yesterday there was no egg, and today the weather was very rainy, with little sunshine. At first, it felt surprising—but then it became a lesson.
We learned that when a hen lays eggs for the first time, her body is still adjusting and learning. Eggshells need calcium, and calcium needs sunlight to become strong. On rainy days, with less sun, eggs can sometimes be soft. This does not mean the hen is sick—it means nature is still finding balance.
This small egg taught us big ideas:
We responded by giving natural calcium, keeping the nesting area dry, and continuing to observe with care. Most importantly, we learned not to panic, but to understand.
This is how real learning happens—not only from books, but from living with nature, watching closely, and respecting life.

Rain, sun, animals, and humans are all connected.
