Here is another blog post of his where he has offered to help us here at Shar Gaden with the English program. He caught wind that I was trying to find some simple English books to help the younger monks learn English and he made the following post.

Either way I think that it is pretty cool. Any support is good support. I have very few tools to help the monks learn English so anything I can get my hands on is like gold right now.
Also, on a similar note...if anyone knows how I can get my hands on a cheap, used laptop to help me with the classes please let me know.
