Eight students of the Sai International School, Bhubaneswar escorted by Mrs. Rutuparna Praharaj visited Chosen Hill School, Gloucestershire, UK under a British Council partnership initiative in June. Each visiting student from the school was hosted by an English student partner which included staying in homes of the host. As a reciprocal gesture, an equal number of students from the UK will visit SAI International School in October and Indian parents will host them. The two schools have partnered fruitfully for teacher and student exchange programmes during the past three years.
“The warm welcome extended by the host families of Chosen Hill School vindicated that friendship bonds transcend national frontiers. Our students stayed with their host families in Gloucester from June 10-15 and had the opportunity of experiencing their culture and warm hospitality,” says Dr. B.K. Sahoo, promoter-chairman of Sai International.
