Every Tuesday and Thursday night a small group of people from our church meet in Portsmouth (at our church building) and teach English as a Second Language classes. They are open and free of charge to everyone, but most in attendance are from Haiti. There is one female who attends the class I teach every so often, but it's mostly just me and the guys. I teach the intermediate class and now have help from one of our church's senior missionaries, who is here serving a religious mission with her husband. When I first started teaching, I was extremely intimidated but I now look forward to teaching and interacting with such a funny, hard working group of people. Props to them for leaving their families in Haiti behind to come and work as hard as they do, study English and improve their lives. I really am grateful for the friends that I have found in these guys and the laughs that they provide every week. (Including the times they try to teach me French--I'm just not cut out to be bilingual!)
Here's most of our class, but we are missing a few people.

They were supposed to pull a funny face in this picture, obviously they didn't all go for that.
If your face can be seen in this picture and you are reading this, "Faites vos devoirs!" :)
