This week has been kind of busy getting ready for our school's Fine Arts Night. It was an evening devoted to recognizing the arts complete with awards and a "museum" showing off the students' work. Jamie and I aren't directly connected with the arts, but my nutrition class was asked to host a bake sale at it. We chose items to make in class, plus the students had to make something at home to bring in. It was a hit! Combining money from the bake sale and general donations given, the event raised about 1000 SAR ($266) for an organization in Thailand called Freedom Wheelchairs. The organization gives people wheelchairs who needs them, repairs chairs, and helps people lead quality lives in a place where disabled are usually disregarded. I was really proud of my students and all the work they put into the evening. Now we are working on our big end-of-the-semester dinner project where we serve a complete dinner to their parents and teachers.
We also had our last big trip to Khobar. We ended up spending almost the whole day in town running errands and getting items to bring back to the States. It was also our last time at Lulu, the most amazing grocery store ever! It was sad, but we know we'll see it again in August. Plus, its exciting to think that we'll be back in the States in about a month!
Enjoy the pictures!
