Friends, have you ever heard about Student Exchange Programs ?
These are programs in which a student, typically in secondary or higher education chooses to live in a foreign country to learn, among other things, language and culture. These programs are called 'exchanges' because originally the goal was an exchange of students between different countries.
Sometimes students live with a host family, who are usually unpaid volunteers and can be a traditional family, a single parent, or a couple with no children at home.
now days exchange programs have become very popular, it increase the participants' understanding and tolerance of other cultures, as well as improving their language skills and broadening their social horizons.
Luckily, YES have spotted out three shining stars who have set examples for others.
Shahdab Nazmi (18) and Iffat (16) form Jamia School went to US and Japan respectively under AFS Intercultural Program. Kabir (12) from Learnium School went to Turkey for Olympiad. He won the gold medal in it and added his contribution to our country’s pride.
These kids gave their maximum efforts and got selected. All three of them were provided complete scholarship to meet the expenses. Moreover, their school provided full help in getting their passport and visa in minimum duration.
They went there, shared their culture with rest of the world . and now they feel more confident and self dependent. They have rediscovered the world and themselves.
So…………. What are you waiting for? If you want it, start trying now. Fill your self with high spirits and energy and Dare to exchange!!
