On February 14: What a great time at SMAN 1 for the Annual English Competition! I got there just in time for the spelling bee finals and the awards ceremony. Met many of the local English teachers and Riley Heist, the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant here in Samarinda. She and Rais were very happy and proud of their successful students.
