As a student says on her leaving speech : “I learned to meet people on the inside, the depth of things, I got to know my inner world, to listen to it. The Template raises, nurtures, cares, teaches, it creates a new reality, A reality where everyone matters, .. to be you, to open up and contribute to others. I leave here safe, strong, anxious, fearful, curious.”
