Zababdeh neighbors who have adopted us warmly.

Children are an excellent entry into a new culture.

The international language of patty cake.

The daily life and folks of Zababdeh are becoming more and more familiar to us. Here's one of the families (one of several) that has adopted us. When we visit with families, folks (especially the children) take great joy teaching us Arabic, and we have the chance to teach some English (which everyone seems eager to practice).
