This camp is a little further out than Chatila, and is much larger (over 20,000 people).  The students are mostly in their early 20s- a few are older and a few are younger.  It has been pretty challenging so far, mainly because there is such a wide range of English knowledge.  Some of the students don&#8217;t know much at all, and others can easily carry on conversations.  It is actually fortunate that some of them are pretty advanced, or I would have little hope of communicating with the beginners.  I just have to find a way to neither bore the advanced ones nor go too far over the beginners&#8217; heads.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, it has been really interesting to get to know them all.  Some have children, some are going to university, some are rather serious and political, others carefree.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, Ethan&#8217;s parents will be here in mere hours.
