Assalamu alaikum, and welcome back to our blog!

This morning, one of the mughamarat started off by building family trees for the superheroes that they chose earlier.

Another continued with their ping-pong quiz tournament to help villagers review vocabulary, including common questions and responses.

Another mughamara also did some reviewing with the fly swatter game.

During the arts and sports period, some of the villagers worked on replicating quilt designs using paper and felt.

In the latest episode of the musalsal, we get a flashback to moments before the interview with Aladdin and Darth Vader discussing which one of the two is Luke's father. In the previous episode, Jerry Springer reveals that the queen of the planet Tatooine is actually Luke's father, rather than Aladdin or Darth Vader. In the flashback, we see that the queen actually bribed Jerry Springer to have him lie and say that she is Luke's father. Once Jerry Springer reveals the "truth," the queen of Tatooine proposes to Yasmeen and Yasmeen accepts. However, if you recall, Yasmeen's wish to the genie was to become a queen. As soon as she marries the queen, she kills her. She then kills Aladdin. Then Darth Vader kills Yasmeen. Then Luke shows up and kills Darth Vader. Luke becomes the king of Tatooine, and that is how the musalsal ends.

The evening program for today was all about International Day (I-day), which we will attend tomorrow. We started off in Al-Quds to hear about the schedule for tomorrow and to get an overview of the locations at the German camp (where I-day is held) and what events would be happening there.

We then broke off into groups to prepare for specific events that we will participate in tomorrow.
