International Dinner and Visit to South America

Before heading off on my travels to Quito, Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo, a group of international students joined me at my house for dinner. It was a great opportunity to welcome a couple of new students that joined Quest in the January term. It was also nice to sit together as a group and discuss some of the exciting things and challenges that come with moving to a new country.
I had a wonderful trip to South America. I visited a number of schools and spoke with many students. Currently at Quest, we only have one student from south of the American border (he is from El Salvador). It is my goal and wish that we have more countries from South America represented at Quest, making our student population even more diverse. Below are a couple of pictures I took with some students at the British School of Quito. We were posing while waiting for a webcast to download. While in Buenos Aires, I had the pleasure of having dinner while watching tango dancers perform. Quite spectacular!!!
