Shwiya b shwiya (little by little)

We're slowing starting to settle in and find our place in Taounate, and the city just keeps getting more wonderful. 
We have taught five official classes at the Dar Chebab, and are waiting right now to teach another 3 or 4 this afternoon. Thus far they've all been some sort of English class, ranging from counting and the alphabet to the past continuous. At 4:30 and 6:00 every afternoon, students just start pouring in. Some of them come to work with some of the associations based out of the DC (we know of a music one and a theater one), others are now coming in because they know there are some Americans who can teach English. 
Here's Toby with Anass (host cousin mentioned in previous posts) working with a group of 9-13 year old boys on beginning English and computer skills. 

This is the same day, but more of an angle of Alexis' advanced English with a group of high school girls. 

Soon we'll be adding in classes about American culture, advanced Baccalaureate prep, different sports, computer skills, and maybe a book and/or movie club. 

Also this week we'll be heading to the Dar Talib (kind of like a boy's dorm for students who live out of town in areas without a high school) to do more Baccalaureate prep, as the test is next month, then hopefully more English classes and sports throughout the year. 

We are also happy to report that a shop selling these beauties is on our way home from the DC.
