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.

Quotable Quotes
"Exchange has been all about discovering myself, my capabilities that I never knew I was actually capable of, and realizing a courage and strength within me that I never knew existed in this journey of obstacles and challenges, forcing me to get off my butt and make my own life here. It has awakened me to the fact that life only succumbs to what you put in to it, and your returns are almost always two or threefold of what you initially put in. At the ripe old age of 16, I truly feel that I am prepared for whatever my future may hold. What an experience she's been indeed!"Guy Murphy
