Muslim Girls take Center Stage in English Language Musical Performance
November 4, 2006.
Ambassador Timken and his wife Sue attended a performance of an English-language musical at "MaDonna Maedchentreff", a Muslim girls’ center in Berlin’s multicultural district Neukoelln. This performance marked the official end of a three-week language teaching project, initiated by Mrs. Timken in which American composer and writer Todd Fletcher worked with the girls at the center on creating and developing a musical in English, with the aim to teach them the language in a fun and exciting way rather than in a typical classroom setting. 21 girls (and one boy) between the ages of 6 and 20 eagerly participated in this program and proudly presented what they have learned to the cheering crowd of approximately 40 family members and friends.
