This last Thursday we had a great time at World Relief learning about "Calling in Sick" to work. The students drew pictures of a reason they could not come to work and wrote short paragraphs about it. I tried to teach some indirect strategies for confidence but that didn't work very well. So we launched into our activity, which was using my cell phone to call Ben (in the hallway posing as their "manager") and pretend to "call in sick." We got everything from a tree falling on top of the house to sick children. It was so fun to watch them. Abraham (a new student from Iraq) got so excited while he was on the phone that he was almost dancing in front of the class. I hope that it was actually a life skill that they will be able to use.
Update on Japan: I am for sure going to Japan in June & July as part of my internship. I hope to have a letter ready later this week or the beginning of next. Email me if you would like to receive my updates.
