English Time At The Orphanage!

Every Saturday we visit an orphanage here in Daejeon. It's got quite a few kids there. We go and hang out with the kids, playing with them--it's a lot of fun! (Though I don't always know what they're saying. A good opportunity to learn some Korean!) It's a blessing to be able to hang with these kids every week.

After some time playing with the kids, we teach some of the older ones some English. We teach some pronunciation, grammar, and some fun idioms! (Remember MELT? Yeah!) We also read through a paraphrased Bible story as we teach 'em. Awesome!

So from left to right, our students are Susan, (Iza's not a student) Kaka, and Bandy. (These are their English names. Well...sort of.)

Kaka is surprised and excited about something! Is it the exceptional English lesson that I gave? Was it that there was Mountain Dew present on this occassion? Or was it that the camera I used accidentally took 6 pictures in quick succession?

What? I need more pictures of the kids at the orphanage? Well, let me take some...

By the way, Mountain Dew in Korea (in other parts of Asia, too!) is not quite as sweet as it is in America. It's still way sweet! But there's a subtle difference...it's probably a good thing--not as much sugar loaded in there...still delicious, though!
