”I enjoyed every minute that I spent with the children at my placement and in my host family. They were so warm and kind to me and the lead teacher at my placement was so nice to me as well. She showed me around and translated for me during the class when needed. I loved it sooooooo much, it was the best week I have ever had and I really want to come back!”
