🌍✈️ Exciting Global Connections for GHS Spanish Students! ✈️🌍 Hello GHS community! We're thrilled to share an incredible opportunity our Spanish 3H, 4H, and 5H students recently had – a virtual connection with native Spanish speakers on TEAMS. 🌐 In the midst of our lessons on traveling and the profound impact it can have on one's life, Spanish 4 and 5 classes engaged in insightful conversations with two inspiring girls from Venezuela. These young ladies shared their experiences as Rotary Club exchange students in Germany and Brazil, offering our students a unique glimpse into the transformative power of cultural exchange. Meanwhile, Spanish 3H had the pleasure of chatting with a Venezuelan and a Colombian girl currently exploring Malta. Their firsthand accounts of traveling in Europe added a fascinating layer to our discussions, giving us a window into diverse perspectives and the enriching experiences that come with international adventures. Adding to the excitement, Spanish 4H recently conducted an interview with Jada Charlton, delving into her remarkable journey known as "The WORLD RACE" mission trip spanning 11 countries. Yesterday's session was a fantastic learning experience for our students, providing them with valuable insights into the varied and impactful travel experiences of different individuals. These interactions go beyond language learning; they open doors to cultural understanding and broaden our students' horizons. A big thank you to all participants for sharing their incredible travel stories! 🌏🤝 #GHSGlobalConnections #LearningThroughTravel
