This was our last day of teaching at the Spafford Summer School Program. We had the very youngest group, 5-7 years old. A lot of them didn't know any English, so Jan and I divided the group into two and played games, musical chairs, hot potato, charades, and matching.

Emma Belnap taught ballet as one of her YW projects.

Nor does Blaine
But Erin does.
Outside the Spafford School which is between Herrods and Damascus Gates.
After we met May Barkawi, a Palestinian woman from Chad who is running a sewing workshop in the Old City near the Dome of the Rock. They have the sewing machines that were donated by the European Union but need fabric. My friend Inas Ansari, from Silwan Elementary School, introduced us to May thinking BYU might be able to fund the fabric.
This is their workshop.

May and Inas took us next door to a Palestinian recreational facility/ community center that was donated by the European Union (as well as the sewing facility). We had lunch there. Inas doesn't like to have her picture taken.
