I'm back!

Hello friends,

I just wanted to update you all that this week I arrived back in Connecticut. The flight took two days -- I flew from Maputo to Johannesburg to Atlanta to New York. The longest flight was 18 hours long!

I had a great time talking with you all on skype, and I hope I can come visit your class soon.

Good luck!

Schools in Africa

Hey kids!

Here are some pictures I was able to get about schools in Mozambique. My friend Jen shared them with me. She is working to distribute laptops to students in rural areas. The lap tops are wind proof, water proof, battery operated, and inexpensive - - all very important for kids who live in tough conditions.

Just for kids: Schools in Mozambique

Enjoy!
