By Wednesday afternoon, we were able to get both groups together so they could really experience how the We Can English Clubs really work … with all parts now fitting together.  This was very exciting for everyone – the teacher/facilitators AND the youth, now working together!    Everyone saw how all the parts work together and how the new Clubs would operate with everyone taking on special assignments – allowing the youth to experience their leadership skills (directing all parts of the Club’s needs such as welcoming, activity director, song director, opening and leading the meeting, setting up the area for the activities to be done – such as having tables and chairs set up in a specific area for some activities to having open spaces for games or mixer activities, etc.   The teacher/facilitators shared with the students the English portion of the curriculum about such subjects as those found in the Finance section of the curriculum – where youth learned to determine the difference be “wants and needs” – how to make wise choices.
