Do WE ever rest?


Not this teacher nor Dr. S. Gersh, who has been instrumental in helping us complete our school's very first Technology Showcase, to be shown on June 9th at the Samsung Experience in Manhattan. We have been tirelessly seeking out people to help classes get responses from their countries. Yesterday and today I was in contact with a friend of mine from Nigeria. He lives in Abeokuta in Ondo State. He is a Doctor of Library Services at the University of Agriculture and he has agreed to answer questions sent to him by Ms. Egbuchulam's kindergarten class. He is, as the map shows of the Yoruba tribe and the teacher he is helping is from Anambra I believe which, if you look on the map is considered to be part of the Igbo tribal lands. There are many m tribes in Nigeria, if you look on the map above you can see how the land is divided by tribes. Dr. Oduwole has agreed to help in any way possible and I am thankful to Dr. Gersh for her never ending support and to him for agreeing to help out. Thank you both from the bottom of this teachers humble heart!!
