Sharing What We're Learning: The Peace Flag Collaboration

        This is pure joy.  Radnor Middle School students are capturing something meaningful they've learned and putting this on fabric flags that will hang in classrooms at Buyanga Primary School. 

    The teachers at Buyanga are incredible, but they have almost no resources beyond a very tired chalkboard for teaching their students.  However, the Peace Flags are durable and educational.  

    Radnor Pen Pals created flags with the 5 Themes of Geography; diagrams of volcanoes, flowers, the water cycle; math equations and multiplication and addition tables; scientific terminology and favorite words of wisdom.  They are made by hand and with love, and it's a beautiful way to capture some of what they're learning and sharing it with others.



                   




                       



We're also writing letters to the students at Buyanga.  It takes a lot of patience to get a letter back from a child who lives in the bush in southeastern Uganda, but it's well worth the wait.
