We're always so busy from the time we arrive at our dar chebab until closing that we'd neglected taking photos of the many activities of a typical work day.   Well, we've been pulling out the camera over the last couple of weeks, and here is a brief summary of some of the fun:

I've been doing a fair amount of English teaching, with my largest class consisting of a co-ed group of about 60 Scouts.  I really enjoy working with these young people, who are so polite and attentive.  I recently taught pronouns with an activity that involved watching an old video of The Beatles performing "I Saw Her Standing There" and the students were asked to listen closely for as many pronouns as possible.  They got all of them: she, you, I, her, my, mine, we.

There were fewer Scouts in attendance than usual as many are 
studying for their high school final exams.

Yesterday, the Scouts didn't have access to their typical meeting space, so they squeezed into our little classroom.  Aladin is an excellent Scout Master, and Scouts young and old enjoy each two hour meeting.

In the meantime, Mal has been busy with his hand sports club, organizing a frisbee tournament with much ingenuity in designing stations, including a refrigerator box turned into Spongebob Squarepants.

Our mudir (director) enjoyed creating this target - goodbye washtub!

This is Tofik's favorite target!

And it burns, burns, burns...

A number of neighborhood boys come from poorer homes who cannot afford membership at the dar chebab.  We've begun offering dar chebab scholarships if these boys put in a couple of days' hard work in beautifying the grounds of the center.  This could eventually turn into the environmental club I've thought about creating, inshalla.
