Spanish at Gwangju Foreign school
The foreign language of choice for highschool students in Korea is Chinese. English of course is compulsory. Japanese has quite a following as well. I guess there is a cultural affinity between China and Korea, coupled with the use of Hanja or the Chinese characters used in some Korean texts. Gwangju foreign school interestingly is one of two schools that offer Spanish.

The Spanish teacher at Gwangju foreign school is a very capable camp and youth activities organizer. The school would be well advised to employ him to organize appropriate activities for the students at their summer camp, and remunerate him accordingly.
The school would also be advised to paye the teachers for their time at the camp, if it gets off the ground. The excess money the school would make from their summer camp goes to line the school owners pockets anyway.
The english camps in Korea are big money spinners, if they are well organized. Every parent wants their child to speak English to give them a leg up on the competitive scale in Korea, so they will jump at any good opportunity that comes their way.
There are some good English camps with a lot of experience, and some very bad camps. the camp at the gwangju foreign school is a so so camp. If they tried a little harder and improved the school's gloomy facilities, their camp might get by. If it did get better, then of course they would have to paye the staff more money.
