About English School

I've had a few questions about English school, so I thought I'd write a bit more about it.  

The school was started a few years ago by some Americans from a couple of different organizations.  I think that now there are 4 organizations working together with the school, and I really appreciate that.  When it started they were meeting in a building just once a week for class.  Some time ago, not sure when exactly but before I arrived on the scene, they found a villa, a house, to rent to use as a center for classes.  The building is well located about a mile from where I live and not far from the city's university.  Now the classes meet twice a week for 24 lessons, so about 3 months for the semseter.  We are using an English as a Second Language curriculum that has 5 levels.  I am teaching level 1 (beginner) and level 3 (intermediate) this semseter.  My level 1 class has 24 students and level 3 has 12.  I enjoy the level 3 class more because the smaller class size is better, and because the students are able to speak and understand a lot more English. 
The students are all adults, and the classes are in the evenings.  Some students attend the university and some have jobs.  They are all taking English classes by choice and I think that it is nice as a teacher to know that they are there because they want to be, because they want to learn, not because it is some requirement. 
There are several centers in town that offer English classes, but we are the only one with (all) American teachers!  New students come in because they have heard about the school from their friends.  I've had 1 or 2 people stop in each week asking me to add their name to the contact list so they can sign up for the next semester.  To register for class they have to take a placement test and pay 20,000 cfa tuition, which comes to about $40.  So no, I am not getting paid to teach.  (actually I've had to spend some money on photocopies!)  The hope is that the tuition will cover the printing of the books and pay for the rent and utilities on the building.  The founders have been helping to cover the costs up until now, but there are enough students that it is becoming self-supporting.
Besides the twice a week classes, the center offers a Cafe night where students come to play games and converse in English.  There is a different topic each month, for example February was Black History Month and they watched and listened to MLK's "I have a dream" speech. 
I do enjoy teaching and me talks ok in English, so there is something valuable that they can learn from me.
