What should we try to bring back for our school assemblies?
Tomorrow is our last day in Brazil. We are planning on buying some souvenirs for ourselves, family, and loved ones. But, it also occured to us that we should buy something to make our upcoming school assemblies more interesting. What should we look for?
We have seen many interesting things in the markets around Belem, including indigenous beads for dancing ceremonies, pottery, bows and arrows, and baskets. We've also seen a few dried specimens of insects, butterflies, fish, and other animals. We cannot obviously bring live animals home with us, nor would we want to support the illegal pet trade.
What should we bring home, and what other types of things should we look for? Send us your suggestions!
Answer to yesterday's dilemma:
Thank you for your ideas about how we should help people that ask us for food or money. We liked the idea of asking a local church how we could help, and also giving people food rather than money. We will try both of these options tomorrow as we continue to explore Belem.
