Kathi participated in a short tour of the city of Coral Springs sponsored by a city sponsored organization entitled "International Partnerships". The tour involved many of the exchange students in this city. The next day Kathi was asked to address 200+ middle school students who were selected to participate in a "Diversity Training" day, and she spoke about being an exchange student - something she knows a lot about. And on October 31 she participated in a Halloween event in Miami - pictures of all are below. |
