"Bokko" with a Korean student, Celine.

"Bokko" the clown came all the way from Brazil to entertain us.  The children shouted "Eu te amo." It was sad that "Bokko"aka Marcelo will be returning home, but I am sure the children will remember him for a long time.

What is ESOL? It is English speakers of other languages. I have the privilege of teaching both children and adults. It is interesting and I love it.  Besides teaching them, I gain so much learning and respecting their  their culture.

With the adult students, I feel that they are my friends. These are my students at the ESOL school at the Mt Albert Baptist Church.

This photo of us dressed so formally was a Christmas function. The Korean ladies dress to their finest traditional Hanbok. I wore a Sarawak Sarong, Chinese Black frog button top and a yellow laced Kebabya jacket. I embrace the country of my birth and the country of my ethnicity. The man in the photo is from New Calidonia and speaks French.

The world is getting so easily connected by the ease in flying and the internet. It is so important to teach duality. The latest topic I taught was travelling and the students had fun learning to be polite when complaining about a faulty hotel/motel room.
