First Impresions

Posted in (MY) Life. on Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 by Zachary Kyra-Derksen Tags: CWY, Host Family, Meaford, Ontario, Thornbury

Hello everyone!

I am now in Thornbury, Ontario with my temporary host family. Within the next few weeks my counterpart and I will be sent to another Host family. Here are the details of my adventure so far… I flew from Vancouver to Toronto, and then to Ottawa. When I arrived in Ottawa I was greeted by many other Canada World Youthers. We then took a bus from Ottawa to an orientation camp, about a 3 hours drive away. The camp lasted three days, however it felt like a solid 2 weeks. We played many scenario type games, and we had lots of time to get to know each other. Yesterday I met my Cuban counter-part. His name is Jorge. He is way more funny and energetic than I imagined any person could be! I am having an excellent time. I will write more once I find a computer that works…

My love to all,
Zachary

    WOW Zachary,
    You are sounding fantastic. How wonderful that you have such an excellent partner from Cuba. I would love to hear the lyrics and melody of the song he composed for you. We are thrilled for you on this path you are taking.
    Love, Mom And Dad

    Hi Zachary, How are you doing? I hope you are having a really good time.Have you seen lots of good sights? I was just picking berries with Suzanne.We took pictures with Chester. Then we had black berries, carrot cake and ice-cream all together and while Lesly and my dad went crabbing. I hope you did some very exciting things to. From Akhila
