After waking up at 6:15, I got re-packed and headed downstairs. A little while later, Raj and I were joined by “The Professor” (Irilingaraj… who is an English Professor at a local college - pictured here) and all piled into a vehicle to head to the Elementary School where the first day of Conversational English Team training would begin. According to plan, the first day would actually seek to train the teachers and help them to be comfortable with some basic conversation skills before seeking to engage the children in similar training tomorrow. At this particular school, there are about 1,000 children (K – 6th Grade), and as soon as we were introduced to the teachers, we immediately fell in love with them. Bright smiles, sharp minds, courageous spirits and dedicated passion for their children simply radiate from each of them, and so as they gathered into the room, Raj and Dan prepared the team for action, checking last minute details on schedule, modules and approach for the day.
