The sender works for, I am assuming, for an NGO (non-governmental organization ), in Mali. The photo depicts the production of clay pot via smoke firing. This method of firing pottery would have been used in the earliest example of pottery production. 

As a junior high school teacher, I always appreciate a good play on words. The sender mentions that they were also a junior high school teacher and were involved in a lot of extracurricular activities. These included theatre and debate, which they affectionately refer to as the "little nerd clubs that need space." I couldn't agree more with the importance of extracurricular activities in junior high school. They give students opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills and, perhaps most importantly, find a place where they feel comfortable and accepted. Everyone deserves somewhere they can go to be with "their people."

Hwaseong was selected in 2007 as the proposed site for Universal Studios South Korea, a massive theme park planned for development south of Seoul. The original proposal called for a US$3.1-billion investment and envisioned a park larger than the other four Universal Studios theme parks combined. The project was expected to create more than 58,000 jobs. The original plans targeted an opening in 2012, although the date was subsequently pushed back. In 2014, the project was cancelled after difficulties securing financing and reaching agreements over the land. Plans were revived in 2015, with a new consortium selected to develop an international theme park that would include a Universal Studios attraction. However, Universal Studios denied having any involvement in the revived project. The plans continued to encounter financial difficulties, and by 2020, the Universal Studios South Korea proposal had officially been abandoned.

This is one of those great Lantern Press cards. The sender mentions that the Boston Bruins are scheduled to play the Vancouver Canucks the day she sent the card. The Canucks were so bad last year I'm sure they lost that game. :(

This card features the Hawa Mahal  ( هوا محل ) , a palace is Jaipur. It was completed in 1799 and is built from red and pink sandstone. It is famous for its honeycomb-like  façade, featuring numerous small windows and balconies.  There are 953 windows, known as jharokhas, which are arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern. These openings facilitate natural ventilation, helping to keep the interior of the palace cool during the summers.  The building was ordered by Rajput Emperor Maharaja Sawai Prayap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Sin gh, the founder of Jaipur.

A great lenticular card from Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney. The zoo is located in the Sydney suburb of Doonside and is home to a wide variety of native Australian animals. It is known for having one of the world's largest collections of Australian wildlife. The park features animal displays, special events and interactive experiences, giving visitors the opportunity to get up close with some of Australia's best-known wildlife. It specializes in native Australian animals, including birds, reptiles and marsupials.
