Cross-cultural discussions


Message of the day by Greg: “ Let us make the world a better place by our presence.”


At breakfast we had a recap of last night’s  lovely Latin dance, by our lovely guests from BelarusVeronica and Sasha and continued cross-cultural  discussion about fairy tales, mansions, microwaves, doing laundry, newspapers, and Las Vegas. In English classes, my group practiced their song for Friday night’s performance several times. The song is difficult, fast with several idoms, and they were remarkably able to sing most of it from memory. We then moved on to several  activities including a vocabulary Bingo game using adjectives for each letter in their name, a game of categories, and occupations quiz….and a quick game of poker at the request of the boys.  For the  fourth period,  Alex gave a lovely and interesting presentation about Arizona using terrific videos complied by the technically competent Sylvia. 
Before lunch the campers, who were in charge of  organizing the "camp weddings", to take place on Thursday evening, came into the dining room to solicit the participants for this activity from among the volunteers .  After lunch, Jan , Alex and Norina went for a short but beautiful walk. At dinner we had a lively, cross cultural  discussion of  the wonders of the iPhone, the internet, and Youtube. We volunteers were honored to be the judges at the Fashion show, with exceptionally talented runway models for the evening entertainment. After  the show the campers voted to choose the most friendly male and female camper. It was a lovely ending for another day at Reymontowka Manor.
