A new idea!

This is a notice I put up in the language school where Tom and I studied Arabic from 2006 through 2008:

Do you want to
get connected to
the local community
here in town?

Do have one hour a week to spare?

Two former language school students are running an after-school club at the local international school to get connected to and to serve the local community.

If you have a skill (e.g. paper folding, art, acting out stories, blowing up balloons, painting, running games for kids) or would like to work with kids in grades 1 and 2 for one hour give us a call!

Most of these kids do speak some English but you would certainly be able to practise your Arabic with them and with their parents!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am excited about this opportunity and have a WONDERFUL partner in crime who did this in another country for 12 years and has way more experience than me. She is a great Korean lady who has taught me a lot about living overseas in a small community like ours.

I'll keep you posted....this idea was a long time in coming and we'll see how it turns out!
