Our Youngest Member of Staff

What does this button do? 

This is Clara, who, while not technically a member of staff, is definitely the youngest person around on a typical day. Her father, Jean-François, is our Head of Kitchen, and her mother, Konstanze, has recently taken over as Head of Programmes. Konstanze was previously Head of Operations, and then had maternity leave, for obvious reasons.

Clara herself spends a lot of time at Dechen Chöling too, often choosing to hang out with her grandmother, Angelika, and she is a great bringer of fun and joy to our community. She sits at the head of the table for meals, and presides over the rest of us. I want to thank Konstanze and J-F for allowing us to share in watching her grow up.
