TIME flies. In a few weeks, my stay in the United States will be drawing to an end. In my earlier article (published in The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education pullout on Apr 10), I wrote about my first three months into the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) programme in New Hampshire, where I am hosted. The programme is fully funded by the US Department of State.
Having spent almost six months on American soil now, I must say that my time here has been equally hectic and exhilarating. I have travelled to other parts of the US, completed projects, contributed to community work and given presentations on my home country, not forgetting spending time with my host family.
