Teacher teaching

My appologies for not updating anyone in quite awhile. What I thought was going to be a quiet two years, tucked away in a sleepy Moroccan village has turned out to be action packed days filled with travel, work and lots of friends. Just recently my mom and Patrick came and we had a most enjoyable time speed vacationing through Morocco followed by a lazy week on spanish beaches. Just what I needed! When not vacationing, I am working here in my town teaching English. I have just started teaching the primary school children which has been a joy, to my surprise. They are so eager and excited! Nothing is cuter than a room full of 7 year olds screaming the ABCs with the innocent enthusiasm that only kids can produce. There are two orphanages in town here: one for girls and one for boys. I have started classes at both. Again, such a joy to work with students who are so eager to chat with me about anything, in any language. My other big project is a resource center at the local high school. It was started five or ten years ago when the previous volunteer was here and closed promptly after his departure. I convinced them to blow the dust off the keys and open it. Now I am working on conniving a way to ensure it will stay open once I leave. I'm thinking of duplicating the keys fifty times and spreading it throughout Ben Ahmed (kidding...maybe.) This is where I elicit your help. If you have any fashion/automobile/gossip/etc magazines or select pages from magazines that would be nice eye candy for the walls or potential topics of conversation, I would much appreciate them. I want to excite the kids about learning english, so think high school girls and guys. I need "hip American" stuff: posters, advertisements, etc etc. Even funny cards or postcards can be great wall paper. THANK YOU in advance!
