12th graders communicating with youth group pen pals in Lubbock.

Today Marthame began an internet project with the Tawjihi (12th grade) students at the school. This is the year that they have their comprehensive exams for university, so their interest in religion class was pretty minimal. He has connected the students here with the Youth Group at Covenant Presbyterian Church (Lubbock, Texas). The students are ecstatic (a nice change from their approach to religion classes before) and eager to learn more and more about each other as time goes on. Marthame is still hoping to do similar projects with other American church groups.
