A day in the life

• Breakfast at 6am
• Men and children over 6 weeks go to work or childcare/school
• Woman clean house then go to work at 9
• Snack is at 10
• Whole community lunch happens in the main dining room at 12.30. There may be a few announcements most  people help with clean up in the massive kitchen (there's a separate kitchen for special diets, cool eh?!) and dishes rooms.
• Men go back to work after lunch and woman and the seniors (I guess somewhere around 70+) start work at 2.
• Snack at 3.15 (when the high school kids get back from their 45 mins bus ride from the Bruderhof school)
• Finish at 5
• I didn't figure out exactly what happens with dinner. Sometimes they don't have dinner as they decided a while ago to forego some meals in solidarity with people who have a lot less food to eat.
• Often there is a meeting at 7pm inside or outside depending on the weather. Different things happen at each meeting. We went to two, one had singing and bring your own instrument the other two nights a week are family dinners which was requested by teenagers a few years back as they wanted more family time.
