  • Hi Abraham House Youth!

    It was great to read about you after visiting last summer. Do you remember when we watched the DVD about biodiversity and carrots and played around with Google Earth on the computers?

    Do you do anything to celebrate your Mexican and other cultures at Abraham House? I noticed that the kids on the Baltimore-Tomsk blog do a lot of activities to learn about African culture.

    I look forward to learning more about your gardening and bird watching activities!

    Happy Halloween! Marianne Krasny

  • Hi, friends!
    It's nice to read about your team. All
    of you are very interesting people!
    Do you have any interests except science and sports? Are you interested in reading, painting, playing musical
    instruments, music, films?
    We've got an impression that Bronx is big city and it's hard to find natural sights. Our question is: do you walk in forests or fields?

  • Hi friends:
    We have somo more other interests beside sports and science, but I think thay they are our favorites because our families come originally from farms. They enjoy outdoors activities as much as us. And sports and science (Garden Mosaics activities) include them. We also like Mexican music (corridos and quebraditas), painting and movies.
