An email that touches the heart from the volunteers

As I read the email from Aiman to Fatehah (UMCARES) and realized how empowering my students when they are ready has made them step up to the challenge, I couldn't help but feel so proud and happy. These volunteers prepared lessons after lessons that were at first vetted by myself. After the second lesson, I stopped checking, relying mostly on Diana (the Postgrad student who facilitated when I could not). These students just don't cease to amaze me! They have scheduled lessons, made up lessons for exam week plus slotted a visit to the Asian Art Museum @ UM for the Palestinian! I am tremendously proud. Yes, take that extra step and mile - you will go places, guys!

THE EMAIL:

Salam Kak Teha,

Hope this e-mail reaches you well. Attached is the schedule for the next four lessons. As discussed and agreed on, lessons will be 2 hours per session in order to replace the classes that commence on the fifth and sixth weeks of the project. 

For class on the 30th of December, is it possible for UMCares to write a letter to Museum Seni Asia - announcing that we will be paying them a visit with the Palestinians? 

Thank you very much for your support.

Aiman
