English Camp

Ali, the PCV from a neighboring village, and I put on a 2-day English camp for our villages. We each invited 20 students and had all but 3 show up. I was a bit nervous in the weeks and days beforehand but it actually turned out quite well. MESC (Ministry of Education, Sport, and Culture) got involved and made the whole process a nightmare. We had to fill out a ton of paperwork and have a bunch of meetings that wouldn't have been necessary had we chosen to have the camp away from the school. But we can just mark that up to had-I-known-then-what-I-know-now. The camp consisted of one day at my school and one day at Ali's school. We played games, had English activities, and sports. The kids seemed to really enjoy it and we both learned a lot about what we want to do for the next year and a half. (For me that probably means no more camps.) Here's a video of the opening activity for day 2. It's also the activity in the first picture below.
