(Written on Sunday, June 15)
I can't believe that the trip is over. It feels like we've only been here for a couple of days. Saying goodbye to our Argentines was one of the saddest things that I've had to do and I can't wait to see them again in February. This trip has been absolutely perfect, it really was an amazing experience. Every minute was so much fun, the time few by.

I am really amazed at the impact the visit of Westminster students has had on our school community. There were two Atlantians in our class in Level 4 and their contributions were outstanding. My students are much younger than the kids who visited us so it was a great experience for them and they are all very enthusiastic about both hosting foreign students next year and participating in exchanges in future years.
It has also been very positive as regards teachers who do not teach English. They had always been relactant to have exchange students in their classes because they feared that the discipline would be disrupted or that kids would waste time. I have met several of them after the people from Westminster left our school and they have all said that they really saw how important this experience has been for our students, how amazing it was to have these almost stars integrated to our school community for two weeks and how much the kids form Westminster have learned about our culture during their visit.
Two thumbs up for the successful and enriching experience! Let's keep our fingers crossed that this program will go on for many years!
