GSS Intercultural Workshop "Gifts from Latvia" 2

Next, we had tea break with Latvian tea and sweets prepared by Mr. Kawashima of Riga Collection.

Most of children didn’t used to be drinking herb tea in their usual life, but they drunk two or three cups of it. Well, they looked to love Latvian honey! They put in a lot of honey in their small cups. They also enjoyed jellies with chocolate and Latvian cookies.







←Latvian sweets






Now, it is time to make message cards to Latvian children.
Each child got a card from Latvia at first.
They read Latvian language which they saw at the first in their life and English.


 





Then, we learned how to write a letter in English.














We asked to bring something related Japan.
Boys brought some cards of Japanese animation characters such as Pokemon.
Girls prepared Japanese paper doll, Origami and stickers made by traditional papers.

And, they brought their pictures to introduce Japanese culture.
One is a boy with Samurai costume. Another boy played Japanese chess in his picture.
Some other pictures introduced Japanese school life and Japanese spring flowers.











One of their mothers gave us Japanese fan.
We really appreciate them to brought Japanese things for our friendship between Latvia and Japan.








Writing a card is a small action. But, we believe it may bloom a big blossom in our future.
And, we are dreaming to see our friends in Latvia someday.
Till the day, we would like to keep these activities for children.
