To help you fill those few quiet moments over the Christmas holidays, why not try this fabulous Save the Children India Visit Quiz? Not only can you relive the excitement of the visit itself, you can also win a valuable prize! Send me your overall score, and the highest scores will go in a raffle for the big prize – yes you guessed it – a Save the Children t-shirt! *
The quiz is in two easily digestible parts – the second part comes on Christmas day. You can find the answers to nearly all of the questions in the various team-member’s blogs, or if you’re feeling confident you could just take a chance and guess. It all depends on how much you want that prize! You can check your score against the answers page at the bottom of the blog.
Seriously, though, thank you for your interest over the last couple of months. I hope you’ll keep up with the blog in 2016 as I update it on the follow up to the visit.
Happy Christmas, and I hope you enjoy the quiz!
