"I came to HATCH not knowing what the hell it was, and when I got here and saw all these people," "I thought, "Holy shit, this is just what Panama needs."" "I think there's a lot of idealism." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we staying on track?" "Questionable." "You guys are about to be the people who turn the Internet on in Kalu Yala." "For better or for worse." "Jimmy approved the iguana farm, so let's start the build." "You need to recognize that there's privilege in the fact that we are here." "I'm surrounded by people who agree with me." "We might be hippies, but we have egos, and we need to check that." "There's something that doesn't sit well with me." "When you learn the history of what economic powerful groups have done to brown people and the working class around the world, what happened before is being repeated now." "When you cannot connect us to globalization, free markets, rampant capitalism, and why economic systems in our worlds today are so unfair, then you don't see the suffering behind it." "Let's go." "All right, we're out of here." "The HATCH coming down is a really big deal for Kalu Yala." "We're going to create a little pipeline of opportunities for students." "It means Yarrow Kraner, who founded HATCH, bringing this community of innovators, entrepreneurs, inventors together and the students and the staff getting to meet them and kind of see where can you go in your life when you pursue your passion." "Also, it's presentation week." "This is... this is always a really huge week, and I can't wait to see their presentation and see who has taken advantage of the 10 weeks to get to a point where they either are providing a piece of knowledge" "that shapes how we move forward or a best practice in how we do things or just adding some little activity or space to our culture." "Hopefully we leave the world a better place as our name gets kind of plowed into that top soil that is the future." "This presentation is our platform to actually be like, "Hey, so, it's kind of funny and goofy that we're going to start farming iguanas."" "In reality, here's a major issue that resides in the world, which is how much food and land we use and water that we waste growing animals that are not efficient for land space when we could be looking at new ways of farming," "like reptiles." " Okay." " The beginning of the semester," "I was like, "...yeah, I'll build an iguana"" "freaking hut and farm iguanas."" "It's not like I've ever built anything before." "It's all just new, but it's going to be okay." "I definitely needed to dig a drainage ditch down here somewhere, though, because it's rainy season." "We only have a week and a half left." "It's looking like Internet was here, it's gone, but we'll get it back Tuesday." "Tuesday." "So that's..." "That's the good news." "The big thing thing, obviously, it's presentation week." "We will have people coming to the valley from HATCH." "Let's model good behavior." "I'd love us to dress up a little bit." "That's it." "Thank you so much." "Have a wonderful, wonderful day." "It looks a little jank, but..." "Ashleigh." "What?" "What can I do to help you two?" "My project is the iguana farm." "We've had to do a lot of research on, like, how to actually farm iguanas." "For this one too, it'll make this, like, really, like, flush." "I come from a really difficult background." "When I was in high school," "I started smoking weed and drinking sometimes for fun, but it quickly escalated, and by the time I was 21, I was already doing heroin." "I weighed 120 pounds when I was using." "I've seen the saddest, most deprived aspects of a society." "Someone sticking a needle in their arm all the time, their veins breaking apart, they're on the brink of death every day." "I became the person that I thought was most... up in society." "I started robbing and stealing and cheating and just not being a good human being to be around." "When I was 24, I kind of got a wakeup call when my best friend passed away, um, from..." "From addiction." "I kind of started to realize that this isn't a joke," "I can't just take life for granted." "I've had severe social anxiety coming out of everything, and this has been a really beautiful experience in the sense of being in close quarters to strangers to really find out more stuff about who I am and also take interest in who other people are." "You have to make choices in life and move towards something beautiful." "And this..." "Yeah, yeah." "Is this..." "This is pretty good." "Where's the mallet?" "When I came here, I didn't really know exactly what I wanted to get into." "It's really cool to have found a new passion, to be involved in farming or what goes into making our food that we eat." "That's what I want to do for the rest of my life." "We're going to have to go back." "We've made some headway." "Kind of wish we'd made some more, but..." "If you just stay back pretty far, it's really wellbuilt." "Ready to find this Miel de Caña?" "Yeah, absolutely." "I would love to find some Miel de Caña." "Miel de Caña is sugar cane juice that's been boiled down so most of the water is evaporated." "I use it as the sugar base for my ginger beer, my carrot beer, my sweetpotato beer, all my root beers." "Going on a road trip, baby." "Yeah." "I'm ready." "Dude, Willie's bike sounds so sexy." "What are the speed limits in Panama?" "This place, Aguadulce, is a sugar factory." "I found out this place is really good for Miel de Caña." "Here we go, Willie." "Here we go." "I want to go get my mud boots on, so I'm just going to cruise up to the platform." "What up?" "How are you?" "So good hearing that raspy voice in my ear." "Maybe we'll see you." "If not, we'll talk tonight." "Maybe we'll see you down there." "If not, we'll talk tonight." "Yes, sir, yes, sir." "Really?" "They look so much better than yesterday." "Yeah, dude." "At Kalu Yala, we talk to the kids about how important hygiene is, but nobody listens." "Half of them run around barefoot, and then somebody gets jungle rot." "Jungle rot is when your feet start to actually rot and stink from having been moist for too long." "Most of your powerful financial institutions and educational institutions are someplace that gets really cold in the winter, and that's because of disease burdens." "In the tropics, staying clean and minding your hygiene was the difference between life and death for thousands of years." "It's been a real dangerous proposition to try to stay alive in the tropics until modern medicine invented vaccines and let you survive things like dengue fever." "Right now, 40 percent of the world's population lives in the tropics, and that's expected to increase to 60 percent by 2050." "You need to wear flip flops." "You need to not run barefoot right now." "You need to start really taking care of them." "I am taking care of them!" "I put band aids on them," "I wash them out with soap and water." "Barefoot means hookworm." "You don't see me barefoot at Kalu Yala too often." "Got to get my mud boots on because that's the first thing any campesino would do." "Hey, everyone, good morning!" "Welcome to Presentation Week!" "Presentation week is the Super Bowl of Kalu Yala." "It is a chance for the interns to showcase their work." "Today is our last day to prepare." "That means you practice, make sure your stuff is done." "Everyone's just trying to get their presentations ready, projects finished up and wrapped up." "Our WiFi was struck by lightning last night." "It went out at like 2:00." "Seriously?" "So we don't have any WiFi." "We understand things like this happen in the jungle, but it's just the worst possible day for those things to happen." "We need to build the charrette presentation for Design Thinking, and we need to build the presentation for the laundry system." "I'm overwhelmed." "For my presentation," "I plan on feeding people." "I might not have all the ingredients that I need." "Willie, that's not how you ride a bike." "I will... you up." "I'm in a... truck." "Yeah." "Doing okay?" "It was struggling." "It was already wanting to cut out." "Nothing." "We broke down at the right spot." "I think this is a bar." "I think there... it might have something to do with wiring, possibly alternator, because I feel like the..." "Bitch." "You turned it off, maybe you just gotta turn it on." "You know, like, sometimes things fix when you turn it off and turn it on." "Like when the cable box goes out." "Dude, where... where do you come up with this shit?" "Do you want to try jumping it?" "Well, let's go get some jumper cables." "No, there is someone in there." "Dude, get the..." "Hey, cat." " Get the car." "Get the car!" " No, that's a bus." "It's a public bus." "Leave the bus alone." "He looked at you and he thought about it and he was like, "No."" "There's a lot of negative energy, and there has been for a couple of days." "I'm building a structural tower for laundry." "Way overengineered." "This is a shitshow." "For many years, Jimmy was talking about starting a town." "Talking about starting a town." "Stop... around, Jimmy." "I need Jimmy to step it up." "I hear ya." "If I literally bought out this whole thing," "I could make a batch of rum." "We have a truck." "8 to 10 tanks, which is a..." "Five..." "That'd be 50 gallons." "50 gallons." "Yeah." "This is huge." "This Miel de Caña is caramely." "It's very actionoriented." "Well, we're in Design Thinking, which is good." "Honestly, when it's raining, clothes don't dry anyways, so it's kind of a lost cause." "Yes, it takes a bit of time." "But once we get this laid out, it's not that hard." "We're building, like, a structural tower for laundry." "This is a shitshow." "A weird day." "People are on way different wavelengths and there's a lot of negative energy, and there has been for a couple of days." "I think there's a lot of realizations on what didn't get done here while we are here, and I think that people are taking that out on each other when they should be taking it out on themselves." "I think it's really important that we all be present this week." "It's really easy to check out." "Um, I think it's real easy to stop being part of the community because it's an easier way to say goodbye." "I came here to catch up with Jimmy and to see what's going on in the jungle." "It's been a long time." "I can't believe Jimmy got Yarrow to bring HATCH down to Kalu Yala." "It's going to get really interesting." "We are really excited to be HATCH's partner in Latin America, because, I mean, the four pillars for us of building a town are education, events and hospitality, small business incubation, and real estate is the last thing we do." "HATCH is an organization I believe in." "They bring together social entrepreneurs trying to make the world a better place." "The thing about HATCH, it's a startup, we're a startup, and we're always doing things lastminute, by the skin of our teeth, with minimum budgets." "Watch out." "The reason we have HATCH at Kalu Yala is because HATCHers model what it looks like to have a career pursuing your values for our students." "I'm looking to see what happens in the world because of this organization existing." "Hey, Zach Bell." "I don't know anyone who's as idealistic and merciless as myself besides Zach Bell." "Zach Bell is another HATCHer who puts on these conferences around the world bringing together innovators for social impact." "When I met Zach Bell, I was completely confused about who he was, because half of him is a hippie and half of him is a banker, and he doesn't have a conflict with those, and so I just hope the students can kind of listen to him" "and keep up with how he's bringing those two worlds together." "One of the funnier things that people get upset about is like," ""We thought that we signed up to be part of a community." "We need more community." I'm like, but you are the community." "But you are the community." "This is the conversation I had with Taniyah." "She was like, "Yeah, I thought there was"" "gonna be artists and entrepreneurs" ""and creative people here."" "And I was like, "Yeah, we're talking to each other."" "And then, she was like, "Well, I didn't know"" "if it was gonna be staff or intern, how..." ""Where the community was going to form,"" "and I was like, "Well, if you took"" "all the employees out of New York City," ""there would be no one left."" "So it's the employees are the community just as much as the students are the community, and when you're dealing with 18 to 35yearolds who are idealistic about a certain world they want to create..." "Yep." "And they aren't happy with the world that it is, they're going to get upset." "It's whoever is in charge's fault, and it actually creates this epic community experience for them that feels tumultuous and hard in the moment, but then when they leave and look back on it, think it was the best time of their lives." "Josué, brother, give me a hug." "I haven't seen you in forever, man." "Come here." "How you doing?" "Man." "Nice to see you." "How you been?" "I'm feeling good." "I'm feeling great." "I got cash to build some greenhouses." "Yeah." "And cash coming soon to get some cows." "Yeah?" "Awesome." "Yeah, brother." "I'm so happy you're back, man." "Yeah, definitely." "Everyone knows whose scream is whose." "So if you give a scream like that and they can hear from very far away, and they can be like," that's... that's soandso."" "And yeah, it's a form of communication that evolved from the cowboys." "How could you come from somewhere else, of a different climate, of a different culture, and think you know more about farming, per se, than the guys who have been living out here and doing it for 60 years?" "Emotionally, am I creating the right situation for the people who come here to be emotionally satisfied, and do I owe something different to the communication and landing..." "You're, like, doing it right." "You're like..." "So are we succeeding or are we failing?" "This couldn't exist without the Internet." "Exactly." "Yeah, 100 percent." "There's no way you can do this without the Internet." "Well, global, like, modern global villages are defined by the fact that the whole world can connect to remote places." "I mean, we're entering a..." "An era of direct experience and authentic connection with people, and people want..." "They're striving for that emptiness that they don't feel in their disconnected suburban..." "There's just not a strong enough narrative to believe in right now." "Right now, God is dead, nations are imaginary, and working hard does not mean you get ahead, and so it's like, what is there to buy into?" "People are looking for a narrative to buy into." "I can see where they're coming from." "They grew up in a very businesscentered, capitalist country like the United States." "Well, when you're in that idealistic phase of life, companies, corporate..." "Like, the corporation, it's got this thing." "It's like, actually, it's kind of one of the more interesting ways humans have ever figured out how to organize themselves towards collective action, and it... works." "If it didn't work, they wouldn't be everywhere." "If cities weren't natural, there would be like one, and everyone would be like, "What the... is that?"" "Ho, ho, ho!" "You know, there's this idea that in order for things to evolve and for things to be innovative, you need to back it up with business, and I understand this, because I..." "I did grow up in this world." "Are we part of a community or are we part of a, you know, a company right now?" "And I'm like, "I've worked for companies, and in that company, we were a community."" "I guess what's happening here is that, you know, you want to touch sustainability and turn it into gold, or you want to touch the desires of young people to make an impact on the world and turn that into gold." "Aren't I kind of stuck being the man for the..." "For the rest of my life?" "I mean, do I have a choice?" "You know what I mean?" "No." "You are the man." "Give everyone credit for everything good that happens and you take all the blame for every bad that happens, and that's how you build shit." "And that's cool." "And it's fine." "It'll be great." "Why do we have to profit off of it?" "The sustainability doesn't seem to be very accessible to the people that are being affected the most." "Jimmy's talking about starting a town." "Talking about starting a town." "Come on, Jimmy, where are the roads?" "Why aren't we planting along them yet?" "Where's the infrastructure?" "We're gonna be making biodiesel from the kitchen oil." "Dick Cheney, in your face." "Check this out." "All these different breakout sessions here are solving challenges, with education, food, food systems, planetary health and environment." "We have building a sustainable town and a community, and we're thinking that we're going to have some pretty interesting concepts that are born from this." "Spur thinking." "What would help you manifest your intention, what do you most need help with?" "HATCH is amazing." "I am really loving the experience." "It's onceinalifetime opportunity." "Some interns were a little bit disappointed about it taking some time in our coursework, but I think it's such a great experience to be a part of and all these amazing people that you get to meet and network with." "We've gotta dig some holes and put some sticks in there." "We are adding an addition." "It's going to be a clinic." "It's necessary because when you bring more people to a space, you need to make sure that they're healthy..." "Emotionally, physically." "It's not even working." "I'm going to work on the PowerPoint." "Mack, can you figure out how to make these holes?" "My presentation is tomorrow." "Nothing's done." "Nothing's prepared." "Is there any, cooking oil I could pick up today?" "There's this..." "Used oil." "Little bit under here." "Yeah, this is..." "Okay, I'll filter that and pour it off." "That's perfect." "Okay." "We're going to be making biodiesel from the kitchen oil and then mixing it up with some methyl alcohol from Willie's still." "Hey, Willie!" "Want to try it?" "Tch, tch." "That's delicious." "You're a God damn genius." "I studied neuroscience, and then from there," "I moved into tropical biology." "I like nature." "I like living in nature." "I'd rather be down here in the tropics around all these cool people that are running around the jungle learning about what's happening here and trying to fix it." "I don't want to be here specifically doing this for the rest of my life." "I want to make this a model..." "Take it other places." "Yeah, and that way, you actually make more of a difference." "I was surprised because usually you can't take distillation products from a regular still like the stills I've used and make high enough quality methyl alcohol that breaks the biodiesel correctly." "I tried Willie's stuff, and we're able to make it work, because his still is amazing." "I'm ready to do this." "Yeah, man, me too." "It's fuel being grown from the ground." "It burns cleaner." "It's an unlimited supply." "You just grow more when you need more." "It's true." "Don't breathe this." "Seriously." "Okay, actually, this might work." "Let's make some fuel." "Don't let that get too hot?" "We're at 136." "Well, it's loosening up the oil, right?" "I don't know, I just..." "I just work here." "We're also pissing off the oil companies right now." "That's true." "It's removing all of the unsustainability." "The good thing is, no matter what, it'll set on fire." "Dude, we just made biodiesel from your shitty methyl." "I mean, from..." "I mean, not shitty." "It's not shitty, it's just, like, it shouldn't work." "They can't do it, you said." ""You can't do that with your still in the jungle." "You can't do that"..." ""You're crazy."" "And you know what?" "We are crazy, and we did it." "It's true." "Replace oil!" "Dick Cheney, in your face." "Why don't you light it on your tiki torch?" "How do you save the world?" "Start with where you are." "We grew this company from my garage to a million and a half people in two and a half years based on the simple principle that there exists among us extraordinary people." "The world needs people that are doing audacious, impossible things to know each other, because it's tiring, it feels impossible, and when you know that other people are doing the impossible, you can link together and do it together." "What I love about HATCH is that it's essentially." "Kalu Yalans 10 years from now." "We have an economy that's built on percentage growth." "Our population is increasing, but also our waste and our inability to handle it is increasing." "There's good products and there's bad products." "I want to start something to analyze, pick apart and understand," ""Why do we buy this?" "Why do we buy that?"" "It's our responsibility to take all this magical stuff that we do and build products to solve that." "I appreciate your time and thanks for listening." "Woo!" "Woo!" "I also think that our students reinspire HATCHers in terms of why they got into their careers in the first place." "I smuggled 300 or 400 trees across the Sixaola River on boats to bring them here." "Yeah, he knew about it." "He funded it." "What are they going to do to us?" "It was a couple years ago." "Prove it." "The first time I came here, there was no kitchen, no running water, no bathrooms." "Back at that time, it was 15 interns and this was a cow pasture, and there was a little path that would lead us right to the river, because, of course, we needed water." "It's very typical." "You know, a lot of towns starts close to wherever you can get water." "My story with Kalu Yala goes way back to the beginning." "I met Jimmy, and he knew how passionate I was about community development, and he said, "Virgie", if you want to see your impact, come work with me."" "So of course, when you hear a line like that..." "I quit my job at the UN in 2010." "It feels so good to be back, because being here for HATCH and seeing everything that has been built is pretty mindblowing." "The biggest issue I'm looking at in terms of this being a town is how do we create an economy here, how do we create jobs here that reinforce our mission?" "How do we actually have it where you don't just pay to study here, you apply for a job here with somebody besides me?" "I, actually started a town." "We have 45 families from 25 countries, and it's incredible." "We have one of the largest collections of useful plants on Earth, and kind of like Noah's Ark," "I've been showing up to projects with 600, 700 species of plants." "We already have a fullblown kombucha company, and we're creating a brand that's going to be collectively owned by our workers." "We can do that because the funding that's starting it isn't so concerned about how much money they're going to make." "Literally, the success of this company is how many lives we can improve." "Love you, thank you." "Yeah!" "I hear talk about building a town, but what I see now is a camp." "And when we came here five years ago," "I smuggled 300 or 400 trees across the Sixaola River on boats to bring them here." "It was an empty field." "Yeah, he knew about it." "He funded it." "What are they going to do to us?" "It was a couple years ago, prove it." "Anyway..." "It pains me." "The agriculture, it pains me." "I want to see higher percentage of the food served from the kitchen coming from this land." "I challenge you." "He's right, and I know that, but sometimes I wait a little bit longer than I should." "You're a..." "badass marketer, man." "How the hell did you get all these people to come here, man?" "It's like, it's amazing and pay you so much." "Our education at our firm is a lot better and we charge a lot cheaper." "But we get the highest reviews of any study abroad in the world." "Yeah, no, you..." "Love you, too, dude." "I come here, and for many years," "Jimmy's talking about starting a town." "Talking about starting a town." "Talking about starting a town." "Everyone always says, "Where's the town?"" "And I say, "Where are the 200 people who live at your town?"" "Come on, Jimmy, where are the roads?" "Why aren't we planting along them yet?" "Where's the water?" "Where's the infrastructure?" "I forgot to build a bunch of empty buildings to sell to people first." "We'll build the permanent structures when we're ready to build them." "But right now, I'm living in a tent in the middle of the jungle, and we're doing research." "We're opening a second campus." "I employ 55 people." "That's where my money goes." "Stephen employs a couple people to cook up some salads." "All right." "He lives in a big house," "I live in a tent." "I brought this." "What is that?" "It's called Brownea macrophylla." "That's the one." "Star of Venezuela." "Excellent flower." "Big, orange, like anenomelooking flower." "You know what that is right there?" "This guy?" "Yeah." "Nope." "Bilimbi." "Bilimbi." "Star fruit relative." "Okay." "My God, yes!" "Look at these dudes." "These are the ones, yeah." "That's Mamey apple." "That's freaking awesome!" "Wow!" "This is great, man!" "Wow!" "Jabuticaba makes grapes that grow right on the trunk." "Tastes like Welch's grape soda." "Smucker's." "Yes!" "I know, dude." "It's really good." "Isn't it breadfruit?" "Yeah." "Over here, breadfruit?" "Dude, that one died." "The breadfruit died?" "What are you talking about?" "I don't know." "I got here, it was already halfdead." "Big, giant breadfruit?" "There's no more breadfruit at all here?" "There's that breadnut up front." "Yeah." "That's terrible news." "Yeah, I know." "Really bad news." "I'm really sad about the breadfruit." "Yeah, me too." "Like, stop... around, Jimmy." "I need Jimmy to step it up." "I hear you." "I know there's funding." "There's no reason not to." "There's no reason." "Um..." "I came here for a week." "We planted all these trees." "We need to do it again." "We got rain, so I don't know where the hell these presentations are going to go down, but it's going to be shouldertoshoulder." "The rain is dripping through the tarp." "No matter how we arrange this, there's a giant puddle that's going to kill someone." "The world's ending." "These numbers matter, hurry!" "The climate's changing." "I am looking at our carbon footprint through a method called life cycle assessment, so, just going itembyitem, everything we've purchased, and then estimating the carbon emissions from everything." "Life cycle assessment, where you look at the material acquisition and then the manufacturing it, transporting it, selling it." "You can pick anything." "You can pick anything." "You can pick carbon or you can pick something else, but that's what I did a lot of research elective stuff in my free time." "Over the summer, she did a life cycle analysis on the difference between bull shit and horse shit, so it's definitely, like, a passion of hers that she carries into her free time." "You're a nerd." "That's probably why." "Yeah." "You have 1/130th the impact of the normal person, right?" "It's like, when you look at all our items listed out, there's so many things that we can just be reducing our consumption in that would just eliminate big numbers really fast." "Peanut butter!" "And if just nobody comes in general, then there's no air transportation." "The best thing we could do is just cancel the town." "Carbon Clare?" "I think we need to be managing our environmental impact in the same way that we manage our money, so I want to be the one out there measuring and calculating everything." "I just graduated in May, so I'm looking for any kind of job that is purposeful and hopefully doing good." "We got new coffee pots, and we weren't sure how much energy they were taking." "We figured out that every hour it's on, it's taking one to two percent of our energy on a sunny day, but if our days aren't sunny, it starts to consume a lot more energy." "I would love to work here, so I sent an email and I said, "This is what you need,"" "this is why you need it now, this is why it should be me," ""and I would love to be hired here."" "You have to measure all the wood we have here, built and unbuilt." "Jimmy wants everything to be measured to respond to a lot of the criticisms and disappointments we get from a lot of student interns that come who do not feel that what we are doing is sustainable." "Already got the furniture." "We need the compost toilets and the power house." "Well, so, who wants to do the kitchen, the hen house, and the fox hole?" "We have our given biocapacity, which is 400 hectares, and then with this footprint, you subtract that, and if it goes negative, then we are unsustainable, and if it remains positive, then we're still sustainable," "and that will allow us to know where to look at and hone in and find sustainable solutions." "I think for me, the two most important things are purpose and mindfulness." "I hate doing things without purpose." "The work I'm doing is amounting to something higher than..." "Than myself." "Purpose for me is everything, and once I realize it has no purpose, then I..." "I'm out." "I'm convinced the jungle has a magic or a spirit." "You can feel it, you know?" "You can feel it when you're here." "This is a very magical sound." "If you listen close enough, it sounds like some old Catholic church with a Gregorian chant." "It's quite beautiful." "It always keeps this nice low hum." "I have a lot of work to do, so I'll be sticking around until," "I don't know, until I feel my next adventure is calling." "Sometimes I feel like it's calling me already." "Okay, so if you want to participate in the full moon event, can you head down to the river now?" "Yay, Lila!" "Yay!" "The new moon, you're letting go of anything that's in the past and starting anew." "Write down anything that you want to let go of." "And then you light it on fire and burn it in that pit right there, and then you wash your hands in the river." "It's a cleansing ritual." "Make friends and learn to accept and love the people around you." " I want to be really focused." " I want to know where I'm headed." " Spider." " I know." "It just will." "You can get as creative and interesting as you want." "You've got a whole moment right now where you have several generations at the same time that need to rewrite a story." "This is the beginning of a renaissance." "It's amazing." "Hey, yo!" "You know, Brexit, Trump election, and ISIS, it's like the death throes of a dying organizational structure." " Yeah." " I don't know the answer of what the new organizational structure will be, but I guarantee you it looks a whole hell of a lot like the Internet." "Ay yi yi yi yi!" "We'll find a shared set of values and a shared set of things, and we'll start to organize around them as people, as communities, and as cultures that wouldn't have otherwise happened." "Woo!" "Your ideas that you present today will be part of the nutrients that forms this town." "We're going to light Town Square for the first time ever." "Three, two, one." "So HATCH is a wrap." "Lot of great stuff coming out onstage." "Amazing presentations, interns' minds just blown open, and now it's time for Presentation Week, which, just to be honest, forget all the other events." "Presentation Week is my favorite week at Kalu Yala." "Hopefully these interns are feeling inspired, feeling like they got great mentorship, and we're going to see that in their presentations." "I had this outfit in a dry bag since Inspiration Week so it didn't get moldy." "Ready?" "Um, we use 45..." "We use 45 percent of our, land service area to..." "Let's try this from the top." "We got rain, so I don't know where the hell these presentations are going to go down, but it's going to be shouldertoshoulder." "This corner goes on there." "That corner goes on there." "Got to make sure we have these tied." "The rain is dripping through the tarp." "There's a..." "No matter how we arrange this, there's a giant puddle that's going to kill someone." " Hey, guys." " Hey, Jimmy." "Thank you, all, thank you." "Um, I'd say that you guys are one of the most challenged semesters to ever come through Kalu Yala." "Your ideas that you present today will actually be part of the nutrients that forms this town." "Ideas, emotions, projects will carry forward." "I guess I turn it over to Lila." "To start off, we've got iguana farming." "What?" "Yes." "We need to start producing more efficient and ethical means of finding meat, so we have decided to try out green iguanas." "In Panama, they're about to be endangered, so by us farming them, we also have the opportunity to increase the population at the same time as sustainably farming them." "Thanks, guys." "Presentation Week is a chance for them to say," ""Here's what I did, here's what I built."" "I came up with symbol of..." ""Here's how we contributed to Kalu Yala."" "Um, we need a clinic and we need a wellness center, and a community needs that." "So I ended up making a prearrival video for future interns." "This semester, Design Thinking worked on the master plan for Kalu Yala." "She's Danni, I'm Simon, and this is Maker Space 2.0." "So it's just an open space where we can run workshops." "So this is what we came up with." "We try and keep the spaces as multifunctional as possible." "For my project," "I did an itemized life cycle assessment of what we have here at Kalu Yala." "Carbon footprint of the intern packing list and a plane flight here, we're at 857 metric tons of carbon emitted into the atmosphere, so obviously we want to start making solutions with this." "We don't just want to get sad about it." "Air travel doesn't make sense to attack because we all want to get here." "If we start to make a book share program where none of us are buying new books that are required for us to be here, and if we start to switch our hammocks from the synthetic rubber to the cutandsew textiles" "made here in Panama, we're saving 12.47 metric tons with every intern group coming in, so we can start to make suggestions and small changes that really start to add up." "Kalu Yala is a beautiful and dynamic place with some problems and so much opportunity for solutions." "Let's start measuring them, start tracking them, and make it the best it can be." "Do you compare to the average would be for someone staying at home?" "That was... that was more than I expected to come behind." "I have been overwhelmed by this semester." "I'm always trapped in this..." "This moment where I see everything you presented for the last three days, and it makes me dream about our lives." "It makes me dream about when you will be back here, when we will see each other again somewhere else." "What will be different in my life because you were here, what will be different in your life because you were here, what will be different in the world because we were here?" "I don't know how to ever express my gratitude to you guys, um, for what you've done while you've been here and for everything that has hurt and everything that you have stayed here to resolve." "I just hope that you come back, that you see what your time here does for the next group here, does for this region, does for this world." "Thank you." "We're going to light Town Square, the first time ever." "It's like you're in 1850." "Three, two, one." "Whoa!" "Good job, bro." "We maximized it." "Holy shit!" "No way!" "What is that?" "This feels like a different town." "Get out of here." "Get out!" "Woo!" "Yeah." " I like it." " I think it's beautiful." "We installed this all today." "Aculea's so beautiful." "On the ninth week, Jimmy Stice said," ""Let there be light."" "I don't like it." "It's too much." "It's too much." "I don't give a..." "Is this amazing or what?" "Apparently not." "People are against it." "This is the first time we're actually seeing." "Town Square at night." "Ooh, change is weird." "Too much light." "I liked living in the dark." "I don't like walls." "I want to live in nature!" "Deal with it." "God." "I'm having a real moment right now." "I've been living in the jungle for five years, and we just turned the lights on for the first time." "And you can see everyone's faces and you can see everyone smiling." "You can see all their energy and the café looks like a actual cafe." "I mean, it's... this is a freaking huge, awesome, amazing moment right now." "Goodbye, lovely people!" "Why isn't life like this everywhere else?" "Why is this so hard for everybody to do?" "I want to come back as a staff member." "I've never cared so much about anything." "I am going to meet with Jimmy to discuss a job and see what comes out of that." "We raised $700,000." "I've continuously asked for funds and I've been given empty promises." "We had some layoffs, and I know not everyone agrees with management decisions." "Okay?"
