tenwest english camp

Originally, we were going to bring a team over here to run this camp, but since that didn't work, we basically had 3 teachers, and the two of us to run the whole sha-bang. so jon and two other american guys shared the classroom teaching, while i managed all the afternoon & evening activities (of course i recruited jon as my sidekick).  with our past castaway camp and youth camp experiences to glean from, we created some memorable moments for the kids - our own tenwest olympic games, an afternoon of relay races, and of course an amazing race around camp. we also had a movie night, a game night and a chinese favorite, the talent show - complete with fashion show of the guys dressed in the girls clothes...very interesting. the weather cooperated every day, and it only rained our last day there. we are so thankful for some small seeds that were planted as well - and hope to maintain those relationships.

sounds like a blast! Not so sure about the cross dressing though :-) How did Jon look in pink?

Nice Tenwest shirts! I just read through your entire blog. I couldn't stop reading even though I have a million other things to do right now.

Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary.
