Holiday Club

Yesterday was the first day of clubs. Clubs are an activity that the students do at night, that is required. They are more interest based than regular classes, and there are such clubs as Sports Club, Holiday Club, Travel Club etc. Facilitators are assigned to a club to teach it and mine was Holiday Club. So last night, I turned the club over to a man from the visiting Oregon team, who just happened to be a pastor in an Oregon church, to explain the American holiday of Christmas. Both sides, religious and secular, were presented as well as several hymns and carols. It felt a little odd to be singing Joy to the World and Jingle Bells in mid May! Most of the students were pretty curious and a few were even enthusiastic about singing such songs like Holy Night with all the choruses. Definitely a great opportunity!
