Jazz Singer

For the last 2 months Jerry and I have been helping in English conversation classes at a nearby University. We go to talk with students, giving them the opportunity to speak with native English speakers. The students are such fun, each week we have the opportunity to talk and interact with them. We have met at least 150 students so far and 14 teachers.

This week, we are so happy that our son Parker has been able to join us in our classes.

Yesterday we were in a class and one of the students, Oleg, brought his harmonica to perform a jazz song he had written. (I have included a short video clip of his performance.)

Today the class we attended organized a "virtual tour" of some famous sites in Ukraine. They gave us a map of Ukraine and pointed out the location of sites and told us about famous Ukrainians who lived in those places.

This is such a wonderful opportunity and we are very thankful for the chance to meet so many people.
