This morning we were invited to speak about the expedition, the needs of the people and the goals of our trip, at Shul to the 7th grade Mitzvah (good deed) class. Wow, it is very hard to engage teens, they were pretty"checked out" on a whole however a few were right there, listening intently, asking good questions and showing real concern over the conditions we were discussing. Glad to see there were some hopefuls for the next generation....The kids did take time and effort to make some drawings and signs to share with the kids in Vietnam.These posters were in the classroom and thought they were pretty cool. Below on the right side are some of the kids with their pictures. Now I must return to the packing frenzy.....
Noam on the right, being "squeezed" by me was of course less than thrilled, but as he is a family friend I could not miss out on the opportunity to totally mortify him......love ya Noam!
