Nabeel conducted the first class of "Little Linguists" on June the 3rd. Sisters Sarah (8) and Sahar (7) were in attendance and were taught by instructors Wardah and Nabeel.

The two sisters dressed for the occasion since it was a special day for them. They had been dropped from the school roster for their families inability to pay tuition.

They give new definition to the phrase: "Small is Beautiful."

"Sweetie"

Nabeel in Lahore, Pakistan was answering my suggestion to "make a friend" this week and wrote back to report he did just that. It was an orphaned black pup that barked at everything - including (or especially) Nabeel.

Nabeel, who had previously avoided that street, employed a proverb and decided to "be nice to his enemy" and fed the puppy some biscuits. Upon inquiry, he learned the dog was called "Sweetie" by the local street children.
