Meet Our Friends



Our embroiderer's name is Tseesuren. Every step in making our actual merit badges is made by her including combing, pressing and cutting the Mongolian felt, stitching the badge's border and design, and cutting and pressing the badge's leather backing. She has been making handcrafts for over 30 years and says she really enjoys sharing her work with her family, friends and now Peace Corps Volunteers too!

He inspires us with his words of wisdom,
He gives badges the final paw stamp of approval,
He sends out awesome marmot memos,
But mostly he hibernates and let's us do all the work.
