Friday Focus: Kenyan Students Welcomed at BG
We had the pleasure of welcoming two students visiting from Kenya, James and Sanaa, to BHGS last Friday. James and Sanaa, part of the AFS international exchange program, experienced a full day at BGHS, attending classes, a student government meeting and induction ceremony, mini-dance event, and more. The Ebony Club was excited to provide the students with a warm welcome and bag of BG mementos. James (who seemed generally to be quiet and reserved) had an ear-to-ear smile, and he said "I wish I could replay the whole day over again." When re-capping their day at the evening event, both James and Sanaa mentioned the dance performance they saw and the great day they had at BG. Please contact http://www.afsusa.org/ if you are interested in more information about the AFS international exchange program.
