ICE HOCKEY MEETS IVAN!

Ivan Chang, our South OR student from Taiwan, is playing Ice Hockey for the Crater Comets. (The Central Point, OR high school that he attends.) He also plays on the Junior Varsity team. He has never been on ice, has never been on roller blades, but is having a blast playing hockey. We even celebrated his birthday party at the ice rink after one of his games. This is definitely a case of jumping in to try something new. I gave him some pictures to send home to his family and thought you might like a couple as well. He is # 41 for Crater Comets and #17 for JV.
Hooray for Ivan! sent in by AC Abbye Rodgers

IVAN, #17

Happy Birthday Ivan! We are so glad you are here!

CULTURAL HOMESTAY INTERNATIONAL

Cultural Homestay International (CHI) is a non-profit public benefit organization founded in 1980 to promote international understanding, friendship, and goodwill through cultural homestays. We believe that the best way to eliminate fear and prejudice among nations is to experience directly the cultures, languages, and customs of the peoples by living with them. The CHI program focuses primarily on the education of the participating student, the volunteer host family, and the local community through communication and interaction in the home, the classroom, the host business and the neighborhood. It is our hope that a more informed citizenry will ultimately contribute to a more prosperous, democratic, and peaceful world.
