- Small project in a classroom in Uruguay.
-
- Dear friends and colleagues,
-
- I recently talked with 2 kids, Carolina 9 and Florencio 11, in
- Montevideo and we came to the idea that they would be delighted to
- build a small project in their classroom. I agreed that I would ask
- friends and colleagues around the world to mail Carolina and Florencio
- a postcard from the area where they live. They will pinpoint the
- origin of postcards on a map of the world and talk with their teachers
- about countries and places.
-
- So would you find 5 minutes and a few cents/pesos/schillings etc. and
- mail a postcard (preferably in an envelope, mail is not really perfect
- in Uruguay) to Carolina and Florencio? This would make 2 kids and
- their classrooms happy and help them know the world a little better.
- If you wish to write a few words, they speak Spanish, some French and
- they can be helped with English.
-
- Their address:
- Carolina y Florencio Ares Pavan
- Villa de Masnou 4793
- 11500 Montevideo, Uruguay
-
- Thanks. Forgive me for using some bandwidth for this.
