The Guest of the Center was Luba Zhovtonizhko, the ex-participant of the schoolchildren exchange program FLEX. At present she is a 1st year student of the Ukrainian Academy of Customs. She told us about her 10-month long stay and study in Tennessee, about her host family, subjects at school, school friends, sports in America. Luba shared her impressions about the differences in American and Ukrainian cuisines.
Luba was a volunteer in the USA, and she continues her volunteer activities here in Ukraine. She was a wonderful example of charity traditions in Ukraine. Luba promised to come next time and to tell about her trip to Washington, to show the pictures and video.
