Two weeks ago we had dress up day where students wore cultural dress from our country rather than school uniform. As you can see, it was a great success! Most students wore a jellaba, the typical dress for this country. Some are fancy and some are plain.

Then I got a huge surprise! One of the students' mothers made me a jellaba by hand! This woman had met me one time, yet made a jellaba that fit me perfect! Wow! I don't have a great picture of it, but you can see some of the detail in the picture below. (Some people might find it funny that I now own two jellabas, both of which are purple!)
