Our residence hall hosted a two-day English camp for 30 underprivileged immigrant children (aged 8 to 13) this week and we had a plenty of fun...
Including me, they had access to six native English speakers - something very difficult for them to normally get - who attempted to cultivate their desire to learn English through games, drama, and casual conversation. (The setting was also specifically chosen as a way to inspire them to pursue University education.) I've no doubt that the children got a lot out of the experience, but the adults just might have gotten more. It was a wonderful time.

How cooooooool. Where were the other native speakers from? and what kinds of English-learning activities did you do?
I would volunteer to help with that in the future...need another English speaker?
