World Geography Class: Meet kids from other emerging economies -- Brazil, China, South Africa

To teach our children about life in other parts of the globe, they reviewed the continents of the world, major countries in each continent, and kids from some of these countries.

We projected a slide presentation on the wall. Thank you to one of our donors for lending the projector.

Our children met Maria in Brazil who lives in Rio and loves playing soccer and going to the beach on weekend, and Wei in China who lives in Shanghai and eats steamed momo buns for breakfast and plays ping pong table tennis, and Kopano of South Africa who lives in Johannesburg and drinks rooibos tea at breakfast and loves geography class.
