Ibrahim Presents Turkey

Ibrahim is a volunteer worker staying now in Stelpe as part of the international volunteer exchange project where our non-governmental organization Stelpīte takes part.

Ibrahim agreed to come to the school and do a short presentation about his homeland Turkey.

Probably the funniest thing everybody learned from Ibrahim's presentation was the fact that Turkish men dance separately from women when they have a dancing party. If women want to join the men in the room where they are dancing, they need to be dressed as men.

Being in Stelpe, though, Ibrahim agreed to show some moves from a Turkish traditional dance to a mixed group of male and female schoolchildren.
