Council Travelers Return from Korea

Ten North Little Rock high school and college students and two adult chaperones represented North Little Rock as delegates to our Sister City Homestay Program in Uiwang City, South Korea, July 27-August 7, 2010. This is the 10th year for this highly successful program which alternates homestay exchange programs in the summer.
The delegates stayed in family homes arranged by the Uiwang City government officials just as they do when the South Koreans visit North Little Rock. They experienced many unique customs, foods, and social settings completely different from their own. They visited museums, an amusement park, the beach, the mountains, an archery range, temples, went to the DMZ, had cooking lessons, and took part in a talent show.

Council members Tazonio Anderson, Connor Ratliff, Jessica Soule, Grant Stroble, and Grant DePoyster were delegates. They were accompanied by Grant's dad, Michael Stroble.
