"Little Man" and Rania

LittleMan and Rania
Originally uploaded by Lee Howard.

"Little Man" is Faith's name for little Abdullah, who is the two-year-old son of Rania, one of the other KG teachers. Rania and Faith have become very good friends and we have spent a couple days with her, her husband Mohamed, and their other two children Abdel-Rahman and Habeeba. They are a wonderful family and Lee and Mohamed have had some great conversations together. Abdullah enjoys helping Lee learn a little Arabic--like the word for "ball," which is "kora" (not sure about the exact spelling).
