I Hello class, I hope you had a nice weekend….in your houses ofc…

II Today we're reading and doing a little research on the life of a famous African model. Her name is
Waris Dirie . Her name means 'desert flower' (pustinjski cvijet). She has a horrible life story and I'm
not sure if you're all ready to hear it. If you want, you can do a little research about what happend to
her in her childhood.
