This job as English teacher popped up and I took it even though only funded by a modest stipend. Unfortunately it proved more expensive to get here than anticipated. Yet I took the job on as I wanted to help the monks-in-exile develop their English. I am an ex-monk myself (21 years as a Trappist) and so have a soft spot for their cause. I hope to move on later in the year to a school for poor children, founded by an Irish friend some 15 years ago, where the teaching will be unpaid. Some help in these endevours would be greatly appreciated.
