Scavenger Hunt

I have seen a lot of interesting things during my trips to the developing world. For example...
A severed donkey head hanging from a store front.

5 horses INSIDE a house.

A chicken strolling through the bakery.

This does not include the things I have seen on the back of a motorcycle, like:

A family of 8.

A washing machine.

A kitchen table.

A dog.

This month, the Compassion Blogger's team is putting on a scavenger hunt of third-world finds. Here's the list! Some of them I have photos of already, and some I'm going to have to find. Have fun looking! And hey...enter the contest yourself! They are giving away some cool prizes including books, t-shirts, and a $25 gift for your sponsored child! Check out the rules at http://blog.compassion.com/its-time-for-a-photo-scavenger-hunt/

    1. For sure, Hannah! Amazingly, I have no photos of kids playing soccer! The DR kids prefer baseball, so I have a lot of pictures of that...but no soccer!
