End of the 1st School Year!

7-22-17 English Club after FilmingSchool has just ended and the summer vacation has begun. It went quickly but it was a rocky road. I feel like I spent almost as much time disciplining students as I did teaching. Now what am I going to do? A lot of Peace Corps volunteers will go to other parts of the country to work on projects. For example some people will go to the city of Diego Suarez on the northern tip to help out with an orphanage. I plan on staying in my region. I told my students in my English Club that if they want to attend English Club during the summer break that I will continue to organize and teach it. They were game and wanted 3 days a week, but I said how about 2?  So we made a compromise on 2 days a week. Probably end up doing more, though because we’ll be making films and that takes a lot of time and preparation. Our first project is a “Pay It Forward Video” I saw one on Youtube. In it a chain of people do good deeds for each other until  a person does a good deed to the person who did the first good deed. This’ll be my first planned film with Malagasy people so I’ll have to prepare well.
