The 15 NIS students would went to the Local School last Friday did a great job and the local kids were really pleased that they took the time to come and speak English to them about a range of topics. All 14 boys and 1 girl did well. However, I couldn’t help wondering where all the NIS girls were? It would have been even better if we had more girls so if you are in G8-11 and are female please consider joining the Local School English Tutoring group. We will go to the school again on this Friday. Please email me if you are interested in joining.
