Yesterday we celebrated the first birthday of the Dar Chebab with a couple presentations (including one on the importance of English), a song, and honored the local winners of a national creative writing competition which occurred months ago. It was a classic Moroccan event- plenty of tea and sweets, lots of certificates, and endless photos. I'm hoping to help expand the creative writing competition next year to include a few creative writing workshops in English, Arabic, and French, rather than limit it to English like this past year.
After the event somebody came up to me while I was helping a student with an English poem and, without introducing himself, started to complain about the US actions regarding the Sahara. What a jerk.
One of my counterparts, an English teacher named Nora, who helped me with the spelling bee and creative writing competition told me she'd be happy to help with anything I ever want to do. So that was a feel good moment. Purpose of the first year: Accomplished.
