A Special Thank you to Mrs. Goldstein's Class at CP

A recent, hasty and quite productive book drive at CP and LB had some wonderful results (more on that in the next post). This movie is a special thank you to Mrs. Goldstein's class at CP who collected about 40 books for the children of Akony Avoko. They sent along a nice letter with some wonderful questions and this is a video response to that letter.


Note: 
Why didn't Victor mention lemurs? 

Well, for the same reason you wouldn't mention polar bears as an animal you see in America. Polar bears don't live in New Jersey, but there are some in America. Lemurs do live in Madagascar, but not where Victor and the other children of Akany Avoko live, so they don't see them unless they go to the zoo.

WOW!! Thanks for answering all of our questions! We hope you enjoy the books and learn to love reading! I will try to remind all of our students to look at the blog over the summer through e-mail :)

Question: Do you think the world will have "dramatic and devastating changes" on December 21 2012?

Challenge: Can you find the hidden owl, a skull and crossbones, fallen angels, 2 faces, the Illuminati symbol, a human and an alien on a 1 dollar bill?

Comment: Victor speaks English very well!

Another question: Are you reading any good books this summer?

Oh and I just wanted you to know that this is Antoine.
