I know it has been awhile, but things here have been a little bit crazy. Good, but crazy. I have been busy working on upcoming English lessons, and planning for a big end of the year party that we will be hosting at the school. The party includes two contests that we are trying to announce and organize now. One is a Thanksgiving essay contest. It is open to all the school children in Dilijan, and they have to write an essay telling what they are thankful for. and yes, it is based on the American Thanksgiving, which I am excited to bring here. We are also having an 'Art from Trash' contest open to the Art School and Sunchild children. They are going to work in groups to take everyday trash (Vivacell cards, plastic bags, soda bottles, egg cartons, etc) and make a piece of art out of it. All of the art will be displayed at the party, and the essay winners will read their essays for everyone that attends. We are also planning on having the Sunchild children use recycled paper to write their 'thanks' and display that as well at the party...I am pretty excited for the whole shindig!!
On the downside, found out that my brother here is leaving on December 21st for his mandatory 2 year stint in the Armenian army. It is very sad, my Mum is not very happy. He is in the middle of his studies at the University in Yerevan, and we are all going to be sad to see him leave right before Christmas. I am planning on giving him a huge package of socks before he leaves.
Well...I am off to observe one of art classes...I am going to start teaching a little bit in the art classes, about the ocean and stuff.
I love and miss you tons!!!
44 days and counting...
