Speech Camp!

In between writing articles, teaching on television, and proofing textbooks, I (Chels) have been traveling the island this summer conducting speech camps with a team of teachers from work. It kind of works like this--120 or so jr. high and high school students attend each workshop. We use our 6 hours together to teach them the basics of giving a speech in English. It's pretty great when they finally get a chance to write their own speeches and present them. :) Good stuff, I say. Anyway, here are some pictures from our camp in Kaohsiung (southern Taiwan).

And being cute here with the girls:)

Yup. He came all the way from our hood in Taipei to attend speech camp in Kaohsiung. Word.

Yeah. You read right. Her shirt says, "Fever, Speed, Ride, Poop." We don't get it either:)
