Day 8: Back at Alma: Thursday March 10

Permanent Markers, 200 Pins and a Bed Sheet


  For our final team meeting and reflection we designed a bed sheet that represented our trip and what we learned. Because we all thought that the World Map activity from Monday (see Day 3) was important and interesting we decided to turn our sheet into a miniature world map and use some of the pins that Heifer gave us.

Look back soon to see an updated version and close ups of our bed sheet.
