Last week I had a great time in Crimea taking part in Access Camp, part of the Access Program sponsored by the United States Embassy. The Access Program began in Turkey and it's a 2 year program for high school students to learn English and about American Culture for free. The Ukrainian program takes place in the cities of Luhansk and Sevastopol where English Language Fellows are located (ELF's are kind of similar to Fulbright teachers).
During the camp, participants got to take advantage of the awesome weather and sea and had lessons on civil society, media freedom, and healthy lifestyles. At the end of the week teams presented projects related to these themes.
I love summer because I get to interact with some of the best, sweetest, most motivated students. I also enjoyed this week because I had a double bed with a real mattress to myself. Yes, I'm that easily won over.
They're not necessarily pretty, but poppies have become my favorite flower in Ukraine.
