[Rockhounds] Rocks from Somalia

The Dot has FINALLY gotten a teaching gig after one year without a job
(DON'T get me started on the Minneapolis public school systems, PLEASE!).

Anyway, it's a neat job at a Somalian charter school teaching 4th grade.
Only 18 kids in her class (!) and a 1/2 time aid to help out (!!!).  One of
the first units she'll be teaching is geology.  As long-time readers know,
The Dot loves rocks as much as I do, so it won't be much of a problem
getting some neat stuff together (special thanks to Kitty for the wonderful
material from Hawaii!)  But... We have nothing from Somalia (go figure).
Does anyone have anything they might be able to spare?  I'm not looking for
killer stuff at all...just something to show these kids from their old
country.  (BTW, some one these kids have come straight from refugee camps to
class.)  Free copy of the MasMils disk to anyone who can help out!

Thanks much!
