hello everybody thank you Tristan for coming up with such a beautiful project which sa not only made studying geography interesting for children but has also given them an opportunity to learn about rivers in their own country and across the globe. In addition it wonderfully connected English, Creative writing and Art. I exploited all the aspects of the project and the results were amazing. Some part of the outcome is being reflected on elanguages. Hope other users would find it interesting. There is much more to come. Thanks and regards Yogesh Singla Cordinator International exchange DPS Panipat Refinery Haryana INDIA
