A Trip to Africa

Mrs. Fitzgerald's Uncle Brian came to talk to our class. He is a missionary in Africa and was home on a 6 month furlough. He brought many interesting things for us to see, touch, and even try on! We loved learning about a different part of the world and different culture. Thanks Uncle Brian!


Above is a picture of a kitchen in Botswana, Africa.

Everyone took turns feeling the homemade baskets.

Uncle Brian modeled a dress shirt that is usually worn to weddings in Botswana.

These wooden animals are beautiful!

Showing an amazing photograph of a lioness. Uncle Brian has seen many animals up close that we only see in the zoo!

Mrs. Fitzgerald trying on a garment (I don't remember what they call them!). It's just one piece of material that is sewn on both sides to make the arms.

JaVonte modeled a piece of animal skin that little boys tie up to make shorts.

We also got to see many pictures of amazing animals from Uncle Brian's many safari trips.

It was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed every bit of it!
