The Art of Learning Arabic

I had my first informal lesson in learning Arabic. I can confidently say that I learned three words. Clearly I have a ways to go. Thankfully, we will have translators traveling with us along the way. Also, I like to think that art transcends language. Though, I'm sure there are a lot of cultural nuances. Hopefully the emotion, the passion, the hope still comes across. We'll find out if lines, shapes and colors translate at all the same.

We're creating our curricula for the conference and kids camps. And we're creating a team showcase. I'm excited (and slightly nervous) about what we have imagined and how to make that come to life. I like to think of it as a way of introducing ourselves, not only our abilities, but also in sharing what we're attempting to accomplish in our time with them. There is much to do.
