SUCCESSFUL END TO FOUR ENGLISH CONVERSATION GROUPS AND A BUILDING PROJECT IN CHRASTAVA

In June we finished our four weekly English conversation groups in four different towns: Chrastava, Turnov, Liberec and Nove Mesto. One of the final classes included a visit by three American students from Pfeiffer University led by Dr. Chris Howard (who used to be a Club Beyond leader in Europe and brought teams to Czech for Service Projects). We hosted Dr. Howard and his team in our home, Rachel Ford sleeping in the guest bedroom, Dr. Howard and Tyler Joyner in the living room and magnificent poet John H. Anderson III in the kitchen so there were two doors between the snorer and the rest of us.

It worked out well, because we kept busy all day and evening and were only home long enough to sleep and eat breakfast. During the morning and afternoon the team helped build a stage in the backyard of the Chrastava Church. One morning they visited a local school's English classes whose teacher attends our conversation group. In the evening they visited our English groups in Nove Mesto and Turnov. Who says you can't get a lot done in four days!
