Words of her Host Family
According to Ripeckyj, the Ukrainian blintzes Iryna baked for children at a fundraiser she held at the school were so well-liked that she ran out.
Her mother says, “The United State Department finally wrote Ira and our family a letter about two weeks ago stating that the situation in Ukraine in her region is dangerous. The extension is maybe not for a whole academic year. But until they feel that it’s safe for her to return,”
Levada and Ripeckyj concurred that hosting international students might be advantageous for both the student and the neighbourhood. Both of them urge other families to think about hosting foreign exchange students into their families.
