From Here to Timbuktu August 17, 2008

'From Here to Timbuktu' takes visitors on a journey through West Africa's spectacular and diverse geographic regions. Along the way children and adults are immersed in an adventure of discovery as they learn about the rhythm of West African life. In each geographic region children are introduced to the foodways, customs and culture of the people who call that area home. From the coastal cities, children take a sojourn through the treetops of mountain rainforests, carefully making their way to the open-air family compound on the Savannah. Finally, children trek the last leg of their journey to the Sahel where they will find Timbuktu, an ancient center of learning. 'From Here to Timbuktu' is a one-of-a-kind hands-on experience!
