Good day ever\u00adyo\u00adne, I am Shel\u00adton Ts\u00adhu\u00adma. I was di\u00ads\u00adap\u00adpoin\u00adted and de\u00advas\u00adta\u00adted about the de\u00adcla\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon and re\u00adfu\u00adsal of the visa for my fri\u00adends be\u00adcau\u00adse th\u00adrough this pro\u00adgram the\u00adre were go\u00ading to learn alot about the Ger\u00adman cul\u00adtu\u00adre and it was go\u00ading to be their big\u00adgest life ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence, most of them never board\u00aded on a pla\u00adne aero\u00adpla\u00adne , it was go\u00ading to be nice ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence that they will never for\u00adget .lets hope they will get the chan\u00adce of go\u00ading to Ger\u00adman and feel the same fee\u00adling that we felt when we were at Ger\u00adman. Thank you!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On the 23rd of Au\u00adgust 2024, I board\u00aded an air\u00adplane for the first time, all be\u00adcau\u00adse I cho\u00adse to en\u00adroll in a new school in the midd\u00adle of the year.<\/p>\n

Most or\u00addi\u00adna\u00adry Zim\u00adbab\u00adweans never get the chan\u00adce to tra\u00advel by air, let alo\u00adne to an\u00ado\u00adther con\u00adti\u00adnent. When I first ar\u00adri\u00adved in Ger\u00adma\u00adny, I was ho\u00adme\u00adsick. But as we were tra\u00adve\u00adling from the air\u00adport af\u00adter landing back in Zim\u00adbab\u00adwe, I rea\u00adli\u00adzed my life would never be the same. I was sur\u00adroun\u00added by not only my fa\u00admi\u00adly, but also my fri\u00adends, their fa\u00admi\u00adlies, and my two te\u00ada\u00adchers. It was a jo\u00ady\u00adous oc\u00adca\u00adsi\u00adon, yet sur\u00adpri\u00adsin\u00adgly, I felt sad.<\/p>\n

Over the next few months, while stu\u00addy\u00ading for my fi\u00adnal exams, my life felt brand new. To this day, a fire con\u00adti\u00adnues to burn in me. That two-week trip to Ger\u00adma\u00adny fue\u00adled a pas\u00adsi\u00adon in me to work har\u00adder, be\u00adcau\u00adse I rea\u00adli\u00adzed I did\u00adn\u2019t want that year to be the last time I ever board\u00aded a pla\u00adne or tra\u00adve\u00adled the world.<\/p>\n

Du\u00adring our two-week stay, I found a new fa\u00admi\u00adly in Ger\u00adma\u00adny who were so ca\u00adring to me that it still makes me emo\u00adtio\u00adnal to think of them. I also made new fri\u00adends at IGS<\/span> Sta\u00adde who will al\u00adways be a part of my me\u00admo\u00adries. I ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced mo\u00adments I can only de\u00adscri\u00adbe as life-ful\u00adfil\u00adling. I met so many dif\u00adfe\u00adrent peo\u00adp\u00adle and tra\u00adve\u00adled to so many places that I still find mys\u00adelf reminiscing.<\/p>\n

I lear\u00adned about a new cul\u00adtu\u00adre and got to share my own. We work\u00aded hard each day to com\u00adple\u00adte our ac\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty book for pri\u00adma\u00adry school stu\u00addents, and it was so ful\u00adfil\u00adling to pre\u00adsent it to the litt\u00adle child\u00adren who were fa\u00adsci\u00adna\u00adted to meet new fri\u00adends from a dif\u00adfe\u00adrent cul\u00adtu\u00adre and walk of life. The ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence also brought me clo\u00adser to my Zim\u00adbab\u00adwean coun\u00adter\u00adparts, and to this day, we still keep in touch.<\/p>\n

I lear\u00adned so much about a coun\u00adtry I had pre\u00advious\u00adly only seen on a map and on te\u00adle\u00advi\u00adsi\u00adon. Words can only de\u00adscri\u00adbe so much, but to live it and ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence it is a com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly dif\u00adfe\u00adrent feeling.<\/p>\n

I hope this pro\u00adgram will in\u00adspi\u00adre so\u00admeone else and ch\u00adan\u00adge their life like it did mine. I hope so\u00adme\u00adwhe\u00adre in Msi\u00adte\u00adli High School, an\u00ado\u00adther person\u2019s life is im\u00adpac\u00adted just as mine was. I hope the me\u00admo\u00adries never stop over\u00adwhel\u00adming me, and that whoe\u00adver boards that pla\u00adne for the first time, just like I did, will che\u00adrish that exact mo\u00adment as much as I do.<\/p>\n

From A per\u00adson who is fo\u00adre\u00adver grateful!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It ho\u00adnest\u00adly hurts to see the pro\u00adgram\u00adme not con\u00adti\u00adnue as we had ho\u00adped this year.<\/p>\n

I still re\u00admem\u00adber how spe\u00adcial and life-chan\u00adging my Ger\u00adma\u00adny ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence was in 2024 when I was do\u00ading A\u2011Level.<\/p>\n

Kno\u00adwing that an\u00ado\u00adther group was re\u00ada\u00addy to ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence the same op\u00adpor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty, only for their vi\u00adsas to be de\u00adnied, is re\u00adal\u00adly heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

I feel for them be\u00adcau\u00adse I know first\u00adhand what they are miss\u00ading out on.<\/p>\n

I sin\u00adce\u00adre\u00adly hope this set\u00adback will not be the end, and that the pro\u00adgram\u00adme will con\u00adti\u00adnue to open doors for more students.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My time in Ger\u00adma\u00adny was won\u00adderful it was a dream come true I ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced a time which others can only imagine.Meeting new peo\u00adp\u00adle get\u00adting to ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence a dif\u00adfe\u00adrent cul\u00adtu\u00adre from ours I tru\u00adly en\u00adjoy\u00aded and Im tru\u00adly sad to hear that some of my fri\u00adends and class\u00adma\u00adtes could\u00adn\u2019t get Vi\u00adsas which I was re\u00adal\u00adly loo\u00adking for\u00adward to so that they can also get a chan\u00adce to tra\u00advel and en\u00adjoy like we did and ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced the fee\u00adlings we had.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We had a love\u00adly ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence in Ger\u00adma\u00adny in 2024.We lear\u00adned so many new things and en\u00adga\u00adged with won\u00adderful people.<\/p>\n

It was tru\u00adly unfor\u00adgettable for all of us.<\/p>\n

We were so ex\u00adci\u00adted that our fel\u00adlow stu\u00addents were go\u00ading to at\u00adtend and have the same ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence. Like we did. It is so he\u00adart\u00adbrea\u00adking that their vi\u00adsas were not approved.We are very di\u00ads\u00adap\u00adpoin\u00adted. We know how much they were loo\u00adking for\u00adward to it.<\/p>\n

We re\u00adal\u00adly wish they could also get this chan\u00adce to learn and connect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tra\u00advel\u00adling to Ger\u00adma\u00adny for the first time was an unfor\u00adgettable jour\u00adney fil\u00adled with ex\u00adci\u00adting new cul\u00adtures, beau\u00adtiful sights, and rich lear\u00adning mo\u00adments. I gai\u00adned so much va\u00adluable know\u00adledge and per\u00adspec\u00adti\u00adve th\u00adroug\u00adhout the trip, ma\u00adking it a tru\u00adly eye-ope\u00adning edu\u00adca\u00adtio\u00adnal ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence. Ho\u00adwe\u00adver, my he\u00adart sank when I lear\u00adned that some mem\u00adbers of our group were unable to get their vi\u00adsas . Over\u00adall, I am deep\u00adly gra\u00adteful for my own trip, but I sin\u00adce\u00adre\u00adly hope my miss\u00ading team\u00adma\u00adtes get their chan\u00adce to ex\u00adpe\u00adri\u00adence Ger\u00adma\u00adny soon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
