First day at Rawdah high school October 13

Today was the first day at school with presentations and assembly. Students danced and sang traditional lebanese songs. 
Mr Chaloub welcomed me from LSA and presented some beautiful flowers. I started with a fun music lesson and shared my "skills" on the guitar! This made me view orchestras in a different light because it's challenging playing altogether! 
After a tour of the school and lots of photos later, I visited an art lesson and spent time meeting with lots of teachers and students. 
Later I was taken to a traditional restaurant for a fantastic meal!
