A
few weeks ago we were urged to wear no shoes, in order to
raise awareness of the importance of children's health and
education—and of course shoes!
Today we are urged to show our individuality by a lighthearted touch
to our usual clothing style—two different colors (and perhaps
styles) of shoes.
Finally,
it's a day to think about the diversity of humankind. Of course we
all have a lot in common, and I love to focus on those commonalities
at times, but today is a day to really relish the differences that
make life so interesting. We all need love, but the word love
is different in every language. We all enjoy food, but what a rich
array of different sorts of foods people prepare and eat! We need
shelter from hail and rain and snow, shelter from cold temperatures,
shelter from the sun's burning rays, even—but our housing styles
and clothing fashions are incredibly varied.
Check
out some of that diversity:
Daria
has some instruments from around the world in pictures you can color
and sound files you can listen to. Even better, there are
instructions about how to make the instruments!
- Education-dot-com offers Paper Dolls Around the World.
