The teachers’ have such
high level of dedication for their craft and their students. I have seen so
many examples of authentic learning. Saturday we had the opportunity to present
to ACCESS students, their eagerness to learn and curiosity is amazing, even
more impressive is the high level of critical thinking. One student said “you
say you are peaceful people, but you carry guns with you everywhere,” wow! This
was a challenging concept to explain. I could have stayed there for hours
talking with these students and learning from them.

Our day continued with
a visit to Drama Sous an organization that teaches English through the use of
drama. The students put on skits and we got to see clips of the highlights from
the year. Students are learning practical things such as cooking and visiting
with the city council. The students also put on a fashion show were they
showcased the various clothing from the different regions.
Sunday we attended the
end of term celebration for the ACCESS students who shared about the culture of
the region with presentations of cuisine, clothing, as well as wedding rituals.
The M.C. told jokes between student presentations which consisted of skits,
proverbs, and sung songs all in English. The fact that these students are
showing up on a Saturday and a Sunday to learn speaks volumes of their teachers
who make learning fun and relevant to their lives.
