The shared cloth made from the sewn names of children at Culler Middle School, Lincoln, Nebraska is complete. It evolved into a “distance” and “close” collaboration following my visits to Nebraska their last year. With help from staff and volunteers at the IQSC, we worked with three local middle schools.
The schools are home to a large numbers of refugee families from all over the world. I was humbled by the very warm welcome I received.
The project is on the Lincoln school district website. http://www.lps.org/
