You don’t need to be in the country to finish many sections,
and they are a fun way to learn more about the country."

​"We had the pleasure of having Ambika read ”The Falcon and the Camel” story to our Kindergarten-Grade 4 students. Ambika read in a very calm and comprehensive way. Our students were able to identify with both the camel and the falcon, and their ability to be kind to one another. After listening to the story, our students carried out a research project on Wildlife in the UAE.”

​Abdulla Bin Otaiba School, Abu Dhabi, UAE
