Cool Things!
Festival of Cultures was so beautiful and wonderful! I cannot wait to share my pictures and videos with you soon! If you have any to share, I'd love to add them to the photo album on my website!
Also, today the students had an incredible opportunity (thanks to Tara Harrison!) to Skype with a Gorilla Doctor, Dr. Jan, in Rwanda! We spent 30 minutes learning about what it means to be a veterinarian to wild mountain gorillas! For more information you can "Like" Gorilla Doctors on Facebook or visit their website at http://www.gorilladoctors.org
