______________NEWS FROM PORT ELIZABETH_______________ Hi everyone, Best wishes for 2012, the best of luck and health to everyone. Be blessed! In Port Elizabeth everything is, after our wonderful festive season, up and running again. We are busy approaching schools, newspapers, radio stations and churches, this all because we want to raise awareness for our programs again. Thursday the 12th of January we had an interview with a few of our students at BayFM, it was amazing to see how this all works, in favour for YFU. Dominik from Switzerland, including his host-sister Nikita, Gesine from Sweden, myself and Iris we’re present during this interview. (see picture.) Thursday the 26th we had an interview with Radio KingFisher, this time with 3 other students, Noah from Switzerland, Eileen and Sophie from Germany, Roda who is Eileen’s host sister, and Keegan, Iris and myself. The interview took about an hour, and it was a great experience! The coming period will be a busy time for all of us, the mid-year orientations, finding host-families, ending your year as a exchange student, I wish everyone the best of luck, and lots of happy times for the last few months! Take care, Paco Bleeker (Intern PE from the Netherlands)
