Surprise Guest Speaker:
Colin McRae |
|
Colin spoke for an impromptu
moment on his current life
in Japan. He’s teaching 4
days a wk, ESL in a JR high
school & 1 day a wk for kids
Gr 1-6. He’s been an
outbound exchange from our
Club to Japan, about 5 years
ago. He’s returned to Japan
after finishing an
Engineering degree. It’s
been a phenomenal
experience, due to end when
he returns in 6 months with
plans to finish his Masters
in Engineering.
Best
wishes, Colin & we wish you
a safe journey.
