We were interviewed today by the news station in Paute since we are the first group to ever do an exchange in the village. They were curious about why we chose this place and how we liked it. It aired this evening and once we receive the newscast and it’s posted online, we will share it with you all. I was so proud to hear four of our students speak so eloquently about their host families, their time here, and why it’s so important to experience other cultures and learn about other people. Elena and I were moved to tears listening to Adolfo speak about our group. His heartfelt ending message to the community is that we are all brothers and sisters and we connect as humans regardless of where we come from. Couldn’t have said it better!
