IN
2005, YFU SPREAD ITS WINGS TO PORT ELIZABETH (PE)...
With the help of our intern, Karen Jensen from Denmark, we quickly
developed an infrastructure in PE. This enabled YFU to recruit hostfamilies
for 5 international exchange students who arrived in July 2005 and
will be staying in PE until the end of their exchange years in July
2006. Since Karen's departure, YFU has placed Remco Vrolijk, a YFU
Netherlands volunteer and former exchange student. Remco has continued
building up a network for YFU in PE, and it is hoped that we will
be able to place more students there in future, as well as recruit
South African pupils to go overseas on exchange! In less than a
year, YFU has established contact with 22 schools in PE, of which
20 had indicated a willingness to become YFU partner schools! |
