Ingrid & I wish you all a fun, safe Thanksgiving Day. I sent an email to my American teachers with the attached video from Charlie Brown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovXfuTvuy-8One of the teachers, an Egyptian American from New Jersey, showed the video to his year 1 students at the Men's campus. He wrote me back with the follwoing: "Just showed this to my class. They were surprised to learn about Thanksgiving. We had a nice conversation. A student noted, 'So they thank God for everything? That's like us...in Ramadan.' It was a nice moment in class, bridging cultures." Miss you all alot.
