Exchange Students

I spent last weekend helping run an AFS camp for foreign students, students recently returned and students about to leave. I was lucky enough to be assigned to help prepare the recent arrivals for their time in Australia, which meant getting to know a number of students from Argentina, the USA, Thailand, Japan and France to name a few. I also got to spend time with the returnees and hear about their adventures overseas, but the real highlight was to meet the next generation of students about to go, to revel in the excitement of adventure to come. Without exception, they were a great bunch of young adults who I’m sure will all strive to create peace in this world through better understanding of each others’ cultures.
