This past summer I ran a summer camp program at a local Christian daycare. The facility is located within the church, and because of this it holds many outside activities and events. Towards the end of summer there was a major Arab organization conference held over a two day time period. I have little experience and prior knowledge with this cultural group and found myself spending my lunch breaks trying to learn more. I gathered information pamphlets about their group and culture as a whole. While reading Al-Hazza and Bob Lucking’s article I found that some of the websites given near the end sounded familiar. After digging through my stuff, I was able to find a pamphlet I was given at the conference which provided the website www.cie.org/resources.asp, also mentioned in our article. This website is beneficial in finding diverse information in regards to Arab holidays, classroom lessons, articles, media sources, and community events.
