Your friend Flat Stanley here. Sorry I have been slow to write again, sometimes travels get so busy! I hear you are about to start summer vacation. Will you be traveling too?
Last time I wrote I was visiting a school in Zambia. Well, I was able to join my friend Dr. Kevin and drive around the city of Lusaka in a Land Cruiser truck! Here I am getting ready for our day trip.
I noticed that many people do not have sinks in their homes. Some people have to walk down the road every morning to get water for bathing or drinking. Here are some boys in the neighborhood doing the morning chore of filling water buckets to bring back to their home.
Wow, we are sure lucky to have water in our homes! These boys are good helpers though and I'm sure they made their parents happy helping with chores.
After our drive around the city we decided to go on safari. Do you know what a safari is? That's right, it is when you go searching for animals in the wild. Many people think of Africa when they think about safari. Did you know that you can go on a safari in your very own backyard? All you need is a hat, some sunscreen, a pencil and paper to write down what you see and maybe a pair of binoculars. You look around nature and try to find as many insects, birds or animals that you can find. It is important to be nice to the animals so that you do not disturb them. Here are some of the animals I saw on my Africa safari. Can you name them?
Which animal is your favorite?
Off to another adventure! Have a great summer vacation and thank you for being such good readers!
Your friend,
Flat Stanley
