About half a dozen folks from Nigeria are in Edwardsville for six weeks on a Rotary exchange programme, and I was invited to a dinner with them yesterday at the house of my second host parents. They all work in different parts of Nigeria and in different fields, but they have come under the banner of Rotary. The closest I’ve been to this kind of exchange was my six weeks socio-cultural exchange programme in Kenya in 2005 along with three other students of my University. Here are pictures we took there. They were a wonderful, happy bunch, and they still have not yet acclimatized to the environment. We’ll be leaving for Nigeria at about the same time.
