Generous donation from the Lion's Club!

At the end of last year we wrote a letter to the local Lion's Club telling them about our exchanges and asking if they could help in any way. A couple of weeks ago they phoned us with AMAZING news!! They said they would give us $500 each towards our exchanges! :D Today we went along to one of their meetings and were presented with the cheques! The Lion's Club is such a great charity who help so many great causes. We are so, so thankful they chose to help us out, it's going to make such a huge difference! :)

I have a Host Family!!!!!!! - Lilly

I found out yesterday that I now have a Host Family 

I wasn't expecting to get a family this early already but I am so so excited!!

I will be living with a sister (shes my age), an older brother, a mum & dad. I have already had contact with my host sister, her and the family are so lovely. I couldn't be happier, which is soo great!

I will be living close to the city of "BARI" and is a very stunning place beside the sea!

I could post a lot of photos of the place because it is amazing but 

you can Google more images.

I can't believe that I will actually be living here, Woah.. Bari is also across the waters from Albania and further down there is Greece, which is really cool (:

I honestly could of ended up anywhere in the whole of Italy but I will be in "Bari, Italy" which is an incredible place (to say just by looking at photos and reading about it all) and I am still trying to take this all in!

Words just can not explain!! ahh <3
