N: Plans for the Week

 Now that
classes have wrapped up and we have finished our finals, catching up is in
order.  My email is out of control (seen to the right.  Sheesh, 154 items.),
expense reports need to be filled out, need to buy a printer for the office,
review textbooks ie finish any exercises I didn’t complete and review
vocabulary, clear off desk, catch up with former students….the list could go
on.  K will meet up with some
former students, read for pleasure, and continue to amaze me by her discipline.

Today
(Wednesday) we’re going to a local Muslim Orphanage. Having never been to one,
the only information I have is that which I gleaned from other foreigners
trying to get their foot in the door. 
It can be difficult, it can be upsetting, and it can be a highly
controlled visit by the host. 
Whatever the situation might be, a group of us will be bringing clothes,
bedding, and a pair of shoes for each of the 90ish kiddos at the
orphanage.  I’ll get back to you on
how it goes. Hopefully with pictures.
