English Tutorials
I started giving free English tutorials to the students of CANDOR, which is here in the Agape Compound. Tuesday night was my second "class". I posted a map of the US with notes on places I had lived and visited, as conversation starters. The students asked many questions. "Why are there 2 Washingtons? Who is the greatest American president? I have $5. Is that a lot of money in America? Which place did the terrorists attack? Why did you live in so many places? How far is it from your place of residence to Florida?" etc. I enjoy getting to know them better. They are respectful, curious, and very serious about their studies. They are also serious about learning to speak English, because they know it will help them in their work, and may even help them obtain a job.
