The countries...

A mural on the front of Lwandi Secondary School's library. Lwandi is located in the hills of Tanzania. I know the picture doesn't show every continent, but I thought it was neat none the less. A world map on the wall of a Tanzanian school is a symbol of how we can respect and even be a part of the whole world while loving and preserving our own culture- a great thing for students to remember as they are filling their minds with knowledge!

The other night, I closed my eyes and pointed on a map with a pencil. Here are the countries I randomly chose and the order I will be "traveling" to them. There are two countries from each contient, with the exception of Antarctica.

Week 1: Congo (Africa)
Week 2: Myanmar (Asia)
Week 3: Guyana (South America)
Week 4: Canada (North America)
Week 5: Spain (Europe)
Week 6: Micronesia (Australia/ Oceania)
Week 7: Eritrea (Africa)
Week 8: India (Asia)
Week 9: Columbia (South America)
Week 10: Mexico (North America)
Week 11: Albania (Europe)
Week 12: Australia (Australia/ Oceania)

I will now do my best to find the most interesting, and for all of us from the United States (as I am writing from the perspective of someone from the United States), the most out-of- the-ordinary, aspects of each of the above countries. I will come up with categories, write them on paper and pick them out of the hat. The order I pick them will determine what country they will go with, just as the order I picked each country (though I was going in a pattern with the continent piece) determines the week number it goes with. I'm so excited to officially begin this journey in exactly one month from now! Until then, much preparation is in order.
