Short Term Exchange
Posted by Bill Molesworth
Bob Campbell introduced his daughter Michelle who is off to South Africa.
Michelle said she'll be staying with a family about an hour south of Johanesburg for the summer. She applied for a long term posting but didn't get it. The interview process was pretty rigorous and personal. She hopes to apply again.
This program is different in that the girl she's visiting will come back here over the winter. This may be problemmatic as apparently this young lady thinks 22 degrees Centigrade is chilly. But Michelle is going during their winter and so she gets to come during ours. It also means that both of them will be going to school through their summer vacations. Another shock for Stephanie will be the change from being an only child to living with Michelle and her brother and sister and some animals.
Michelle says she's a little nervous but expects it to be a good experience. She's seen pictures of Stephanie's house and it's huge.
Michelle was very self possessed and well spoken and will be a positive reflection on our Club.
