what’s going on in Kazakhstan, with The Greatest Exchange, and in these girls’ lives

It truly is humbling to sit back and see how people’s time, talent, resources and personalities intertwined to accomplish something greater than ourselves.

Aigul, the student from KZ who was in Jacksonville last summer, is excited to return this summer and see her friends and family.

Bereke is at a very sweet place in her process.  Everything about her summer is viewed as a “gift” and she is truly overwhelmed and excited every step of the way.

Donna is starting to get excited about meeting everyone as well.  She is connecting people here with her summer plans, and is looking forward to getting to know everyone on a deeper level.

Aika will be working at Serenata Beach Club, and living at Jacksonville Beach.  Skype sessions with her are frequent as the paperwork has been a bit more difficult to obtain, but she is now cleared and can not wait to arrive in America in two months!

Aigul, Donna, and Bereke’s paperwork been delivered to Kazakhstan, and they will be doing their embassy interviews in the month of April.  Aika’s paperwork is on it’s way, and her interview will be in the next 4-6 weeks.
