Exercise Class

A couple of posts ago I talked about Abdel, one of our elders who was a professional swimmer in Iraq.  Abdel still loves to exercise, and he volunteers at the YMCA in order to get a free membership. A few weeks ago, teacher Michaela talked with him about leading the other students in some light exercises before class. He loved the idea, so the students have been exercising for about 10 minutes before class begins everyday. The teachers said they've even noticed a difference in the students' energy levels in class!
