Learning about Homeless people by discovering what is in your home and what people around the world have. Visitors donated toys, food, clothing and suitcases that were given to a local young woman’s Shelter. The food and toys gradually filled the walls of the house. Inside families learned about what food families ate around the world. On the back there was a video of children’s homes and a puzzle of where animals live. The entire piece was on wheels and could be disassembled in 15 minutes because this space is often rented for events.
