Mahani Teave grew up on Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, one
of the most remote islands in the world, where moai statues stand
and music is everywhere. When she began taking lessons on the
island's only piano, she proved to be a great talent. She left Rapa
Nui when she was just nine to continue her music education, wishing
she didn't have to leave such a beautiful place to pursue her
dreams. She became an internationally acclaimed classical pianist,
playing around the world for all kinds of audiences. But her island
home kept calling her back. Years later, she returned to Rapa Nui
to stay, and with a new dream: to save its environment and culture.
She helped create a music and arts school, so that children there
could learn music in ways that kept the island's unique traditions
alive. Mahani also saw the island's struggles with sustainability
issues and pollution from tourism and ocean plastics, so the school
was built using of thousands of tires, bottles, and cans in its
walls, and incorporates rain barrels, solar panels, and a food
garden. Mahani and her team have created an inspiring place that
celebrates the land of Rapa Nui and its people.
