Save the Children has sponsorship programs in over twenty countries in five regions of the world! Our Culture Snapshot series highlights unique elements of local culture from each of the regions our sponsorship programs operate in. We hope you enjoy and will visit again in the coming weeks to learn about each region. Check out the last post, "Culture Snapshot: Carom - A Favorite Game of Children in Bangladesh"

_______________________

The “Blind Cat” or “El Qota El Aamyaa” in Arabic is a team game where children decide who will be the blind cat and who will search for the others while his/her eyes are blindfolded.

After selecting who will start, the team creates borders for the playing area.

Then the selected blind cat tries to catch one of the children who will then become the blind cat.

The child who plays the blind cat focuses on his/her hearing skill to figure out where each child is.

Coming soon, learn about xingomana, a cultural dance in Mozambique!

The system is designed to trade on the global currency
markets which, by volume, are the largest financial markets
in the world. Scalping often involves trading the smallest intra-day timeframes
such as the 1 and 5 minute charts, from which typical profit targets may be as little as 10 pips or less.
By carefully tracking your successes and failures, you give yourself
a reference point by which to make future decisions.
