We had a very productive morning yesterday listening to student presentations regarding their research projects and their learning experiences from this trip. It has only been 30 days since the group has been together but a lot of individual and self transformation has occurred during this period. We are all proud of the students and the contributions they have made to this point. I hope they will continue to educate others about climate issues and continue to be good citizens on our planet.

We are in the Moscow airport now and about to head home. To all the parents and friends of the students out there, your loved ones will be home soon to share their experiences with you. Hope you are well and signing off from Russia.
