We had been asked to make an appearance on the Channel 21 morning show, a national affair! Christina joined me on camera as Shkumbin acted as translator. Together, Christina and I fielded questions about our impressions of Kosovo and what we will take back to Akron.
Following a breakfast of fresh breads and pastries, we walked to meet Xhevdet at the Madressa where he teaches. Again, we asked for directions from a local, and again we were given the directions in meters and turns here and there, no street names.
Xhevdet and his director (principal) met us as the door, and the director hosted us with coffee and tea. He explained the mission of the school and a little of the history before taking us on a tour of the school and into different classrooms, including a class of girls playing volleyball. We were also lucky enough to hear a student read from the Koran.
