Need another reason to host an international exchange student? Read this short & sweet bit from Arina in Uzbekistan about what her exchange year meant to her.
“My exchange year was amazing. I became a completely different person mentally and physically. I learned how to be responsible for my own actions and words, how to be independent, how to be more open-minded and friendly, and how to be happy and grateful for everything that you have. Greenheart helped me a lot and gave me so many things which I’m thankful for now…My host family, my local coordinator, my friends, and other exchange students. I’m so glad and grateful that I got a chance to meet them all. They’re all the best people that I’ve ever met. They’re all unique, smart, talented and funny. I love every single one from our big Minnesota group. Especially I want to mention my best friends who I created the most tight connections with: Adelija (Latvia), Yulia (Ukraine) and Imge (Turkey). I love and appreciate them the most. Thanks to Greenheart for letting the best people to my life! 💚”
