My primary assignment is teaching English as a foreign language.
I find that it’s a lot more interesting than I would have thought in the States.
Children are really eager to learn English and they’re really excited to have an American as a teacher.
So it’s really satisfying in a sense – I never thought of myself as a teacher.
My secondary project is actually a hobby of mine. I love to dance and when I arrived at site, everyone was really excited
– oh you like to dance? Yeah, so all of a sudden I have a dance group. Actually I have a lot of dance groups.
It’s amazing to see the enthusiasm; these kids want to learn how to dance. Not just kids, you’ve got older girls,
boys, all sorts of people wanting to dance. They love it.
A lot of them do have an interest in hip-hop and American styles of dancing so I like to do a lot of that.
At the same time, we pick things like Arabic dance or Indian dance or something along those lines.
And I find that the students, they’re really creative too and they like to incorporate their types of
dancing with my types of dancing and it usually ends up pretty nice�
