Tappan Hill's world travels make a stop in Yemeni, Filipino cultures

Tappan Hill School students learned about their friends' Asian heritages in the Filipino and Yemeni cultures. Eslam wore traditional Yemeni clothing that consists of a throbe (a long white robe) and a Jumbiya shaped like a dagger with a wide belt. It is a symbol of Yemeni heritage and pride. He also shared Akras which is a traditional Yemeni flatbread.

Mirela, meanwhile, brought in Ube Piaya, a delicious Filipino delicacy that combines classic piaya with ube filling. She also brought in sweet and tangy candies made from tamarind pulp and sugar. The staff and students are enjoying learning about different cultures as Tappan Hill "travels around the world."
