What a summer! First re-visiting British arrived and then for
3 weeks in July, we hosted an English teacher,
Wu Ton (Toni) from Chongqing, China!

"Toni" (above) with stitchers, Crystal and Paula who were performing
at the Janesville Farmer's Market in July as UAA buskers.

We wish more people could experience the wonder,
the learning, and the friendships that can develop worldwide when we're
open to new experiences. This year, a new friendship has begun to
bloom between SnB'er Paula and friend Malcolm in Essex!
If you're interested in finding ane-friend, let me know and we'll see what
we can do so you can beginan international exchange through our
existing "circle of friends"!
