“freedom” and go back to their old way of life with their stress, their jobs, their

debts etc.

We come together at 6:00, 12:00 and 18:00 for prayers, work and eat and cook

together. We take in refugees, help people in need, share our income and goods with
others, travel to countries in the third world to help and encourage people in need.
We try to live a simple life, not to consume things, to eat the food that grows in our

gardens and fields (rather than strawberries in December) to use less and give more.
We lead a very fulfilling life. Wouldn’t change it for the world!

Shlomo Etzioni [the late former general secretary of the ICD] visited us years ago.
That was wonderful! We are very good friends with the Bruderhof and have learned

and profited from this
friendship. They visit us, we
visit them.

Our children, (there were 11 at
one time living here) have not

joined our community, but
come often, love it here,

appreciate our way of life –
they are all wonderful, caring
people – that is the most

important thing for us. Bringing in the potatoes

We older ones have given over
many responsibilities to the younger members and do our best to support them as
they continue to form and lead the community.

So, thanks for C.A.L.L. – we send you twice a year our magazine “Francesco” in return,
and are grateful for your work. Come and visit us!

God’s blessing bring you peace and happiness,

Yours,
