Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too.

If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discuss the problem. They ask, "Why did it happen", "What should we do about it"One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: "You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group".
