A Message For You All...
By Anne Klimpke
Coming together, being apart and attempting to return to a place where we found peace, both outside and within, have all encompassed a journey known to us as exchange. We travel far in order to question what we think we know. We soon learnt that changes in location do not alter or change the battles we must fight to know and improve ourselves. If not fought here and now those same battles confront us where ever we may be. Those things that cause us despair breed avoidance, but dealing with them promises opportunity. Being truly honest grants us the deepest satisfaction, because with honesty and acceptance comes understanding.

"Don't be afraid to ask questions. People will understand that you aren't confident with the language and they won't laugh at you. They only try to help you. Don't feel dumb if you pronounce something wrong or don't know something, you can only learn from your mistakes."Hanneke Huisman
