End of term assembly

Last week was the end of Layla's school where we run the After School program. The school wanted to do one last assembly to wrap up the school year and we were the main event! We handed out the certificates to the kids and gifts to various people who helped out and we had a Tae Kwon Do demonstration. As usual, the demonstration was a huge hit!

This is the third year of the school. The pre school and kindergarten kid s wear the green  shirts and the older kids wear yellow. There are about 250 kids and next year there will be about 400. You can see Layla in the upper center part of the picture. She is sitting next to our friend's daughter, Rebecca.

The prinicpal and most of the staff are from South Africa and are quite experienced with schools in the Middle East.  95% of the student body are local kids and the rest are from ALL over the world.

We have run the after school program for a year and a half and the Tae Kwon Do is always the most popular. Several of the kids earned Yellow Belts this year.


....and everyone's favorite part...Breaking the pieces of wood!
