It’s a little past 10 a.m., and Samira Alhamwi is leading a group of nine elementary school-age children in a jazzy version of the Arabic answer to the “ABC Song.”
It’s the second week of Arabic camp at the Syrian Community Network in Edgewater, and the kids’ enthusiasm fairly ricochets off the walls. It’s as though they’re singing a Taylor Swift hit or, better, one by the Lebanese pop sensation Nancy Ajram rather than an educational rhyme.
