In small groups after vocabulary was mostly grasped they created their fictitious countries.
The sweet young girls created the country of GIRLS - inhabited ONLY by girls - population: 8,000,000! National food - coffee and sweets!
Capital city - LOVE!
Two of the men, created this country: PEACE. Capital city: SAFETY. "S" , one of the men had recently lost 2 brothers back in Syria. Peace and Safety are heavy on his mind. "S" had been a police officer in Syria and he has a beautiful wife and 3 very young, sweet children. He'd told me about their leaving Syria and how close they were to death crossing the Mediterranean in a wee boat. "S" is eager to learn, laughs easily, and is learning Greek as well as English. But...after he'd heard of the death of his brothers....he had times of distraction and sadness. Rightly so. And this explains his themes for the map. Being part of the Omonia Church is so helpful for ones like "S" who can receive comfort and family to help in healing and adjustment!
