Yappenatim


Lest everyone think that I really don't do anything but surf and ride my moped around I figured I'd talk a bit about teaching. I do most of my teaching at a local orphanage called Yappenatim. I have two 7th grade and two 8th grade classes there. The kids are out of control but still a blast to be around. Because the level of English is so low we've worked mostly on basic topics ranging from basic vocabulary to forming simple questions. I usually teach from 8-12 and then try to hang out and play sports with the kids after class for a bit. I also teach twice a week at a government elementary school. The kids there are really cool and we spend most of the time playing games that keep them entertained and help build their English vocabulary.

  1. That looks wild. I am not at all disappointed by your choice of dress. 4 hours of work everyday, and sports all afternoon. Does it feel like life in Clemson?
