Picture: Tree Hugging

A couple weeks ago, we had the second meeting of Struga's latest (and, as far as I know, only) environmental club. As of now, it's a spinoff of the Scout troop, but we're hoping to get more kids involved. One of the activities we did was called "Meet a Tree": the kids paired up, and one
person in each pair was blindfolded. Then the seeing-eye partner took the blindfolded partner to a tree and the blindfolded partner had to "get to know" the tree using senses other than sight. Then the seeing-eye partner took the blindfolded partner (circuitously) back to the starting point and removed the blindfold, and the blindfolded partner had to try to find his or her tree.

PS: "We" consists of Patty (PCV), Kristy (PCV), myself, and Patty's Macedonian coworker, Maja. We have grand plans for the club, but right now we're just trying to get the kids to show up on a regular basis.
