Meet the Duwende

Duwendes are small guardians of the land who reward respect but play tricks on rude humans.  

Would you say “tabi-tabi po” (excuse me) when passing an anthill at night?  

Duwende (doo-WEN-deh) – From the Spanish word for “goblin” or “elf.”  

Small, human-like creatures with pointed hats.  

In anthills, termite mounds, or under tree roots.  

People say stepping on their home without permission might make you sick.  

Teaches kids politeness and respect for nature.
