Then Isa's dad, Matthew, came to talk to us about the work he does for UNICEF. He just got back from Madagascar and he showed us some pictures of the schools he visited there. He said some children had never seen a white person before and it was very exciting for them to do so! Matthew told us that the only true thing about the movie "Madagascar" is that lemurs exist there. In fact, it is the only place on earth where they exist. We also learned that many spices we enjoy and most of the world's vanilla is produced there.
Later in the day, Eli's mom, Elizabeth, returned to show us some Nigerian clothing and jewelry. The kids got a kick out of trying things on and dancing to some African drumming!
An incredible day, all around. Please talk to your child about these experiences they had today!
