Who is teaching who?

Our team visited a school in Iskenderun (on the Mediterranean Sea, about an hour or so drive away from Antakya) this afternoon.  The kids were older, around 11 & 12, then the last school we visited.  We participated in an "english class" so to speak and also spent some time with a smaller group of kids in a program they have that is focused on developing leadership skills.  The kids were remarkable in their confidence and they weren't shy at all in terms of trying to practice their english.  The "lesson" being taught today was around "vision" and the value of questioning "why & why not" when  developing a vision - pretty heady stuff for younger kids - as usual, when you are around younger kids eager to learn you can't help but to learn a few things as well!  P.S.  I had brought along some Canada pencils for the kids - they were a big hit!
