The story of Makaibari would be incomplete without mention of the village children. Their education is state controlled, but the plantation contributes the land and a part of the building expenses. Though government employees, the teachers are influenced inevitably by the forces of biodynamics that surround them at Makaibari. Interest in the work permeates, resulting in an appreciation of natural rhythms and the positive role of humans within it in their discourses. It is a slow and subtle phenomenon.

Steiner's teachings are beautiful. The light from the cosmos creates life. The fusion of the two results in love – the most powerful force in the universe. Force can evince quick results but these are not sustainable, while love and patience create awareness on a long term and sustainable basis. One outstanding contributor to creating such awareness was a visitor from Germany – Frauke Mai. She organised a plastic litter collection through innovative songs and dances with the children's playgroups. The children took to it like a duck takes to water. Every Sunday, they bring in the litter and receive a small reward. They also participate in a group activity to learn about cows and compost making in a fun way.

The ladies action group followed the example of the children and began participating in similar activities. They watched interesting documentaries on childcare and family planning. Motivated by their newly gained awareness of these issues, they devised a novel scheme that gave incentives to limit the family size to two.
