This miniature quilt was given to Headmaster Temba Maqubela by faculty and students from Maru-a-Pula School in Botswana this past summer at the inaugural G-PIE (Groton Program for Intercultural Exchange). Mr. Maqubela started his teaching career at MaP—a co-educational, independent day and boarding secondary school built on fifty screws of land donated by the Botswana government—in 1982. For more information on G-PIE, check out our cover story beginning on page 12.
