this early on in your project- it will take some time
for the embassies to respond back to you!

These sites have been
checked to see that they work and display appropriate content.
However, the sites may have links to them that may not work,
and/or may display content that does not reflect the views of
Mrs. Pennington, NDP, etc. Whenever using the internet as
a resource, check the content with your teacher and always ask
if you are unsure about something. The internet is a great
resource, however, some websites display opinion and not fact.
I have tried my best to find websites that rely solely on fact.
