***After registering, go to the ENRICHri Member Facebook group and search the tag #internationalfair2024 to see which countries have already been claimed then comment your child’s first name and the country they select. There will be no duplicates allowed, if someone has already claimed a country please pick a different one. If you aren't on Facebook, please email Amanda.Campbell@enrichri.org to check which countries are taken and claim your child’s choice.
