On Tuesday, these students were equipped with some appropriate technologies. They learned how important animals are to many people in the world, not just to eat, but to provide beneficial materials. Sheep, llamas and alpacas' wool can be used to make clothes for the family, as well as items to sell through microenterprise.
After cleaning the wool, it must be carded and spun...which the students found out isn't always as simple as it looks!
Week Seven also got the chance to participate in some team-building challenges on the ropes course!
And, of course, this group conquered "the wall"!

Thanks for giving our group an amazing week at SIFAT!!! They came back completely energized about the Kingdom, and ready to go back to SIFAT. I'm just jealous I didn't get to go too! Keep up the great work...
Hey guys! SIFAT was amazing for me. My youth group and I are already brainstorming ideas for fundraisers for different things around the world. Its amazing what one week can do for a person's outlook on the world. I know that I only got a small little glimpse of what its like out there, but it still changed my life forever. I can't wait to come back to SIFAT, and I'll never forget the friends I made, and the things I learned.
Katie and Samantha,
Thank you for the awesome comments. We're glad that SIFAT was able to make a difference in your youth group. Keep us updated on what you guys are doing...and we'll see you (both hopefully) next year!
