Big Whats UP from Matt Patterson in Madar

Madar is a village of 1040 people. I have between 25-30 students from 6-18 years old, which I have broken up into two classes. I also have 7 adult students in a night class. All of the kids seem happy with the classes, and I have had few discipline issues. All of my students are absolute beginners, but they are learning quickly. My host family is amazing. My mother speaks no english, but has so much energy it is incredible. My father can read english and is working on his speaking. My older brother is basically fluent in English, and the younger is just starting.
