So, I'm a little behind on my blogging. These pictures were taken on October 12--Columbus Day. This is a celebrated holiday here in Costa Rica--remembering when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered the Americas in 1492. (Anybody remember the little rhyme?=) Anyways, at the school Columbus Day has transformed into a World Cultures Day and each class in both the Language Institute and in Sojourn Academy was assigned to a country. We had to put on a display for each country--sharing information about the country, sharing food from the country and dressing in the colors or national wear of the country.
Can you tell what each of our countries was?
Mine was Costa Rica and my grammar teacher had this great dress for me to borrow for the day. What fun! She even taught me a few dance moves.
Sydney's class had Malawi--so we were able to use our chitenje and help provide information for her class. But no nsima.
Lastly, Sam's class had USA. Thus the red, white and blue clothing.
It was a fun celebration of all of the cultures and people of the world--and a reminder of the great diversity of people God has made--all for whom Christ came and died.
