For the last several weeks BigZabba has been working on a cultural heritage project. She completed a family tree, did research on her country of origin, wrote a recipe for her country, completed an art project, a fashion show and participated in a cultural food fair. It has been quite an interesting project. BZ chose… Read More Guten Tag
