Paty and Alondra from Colina, Mexico
Project Amigo brought eight students from Colima, Mexico, to Logan. The students were sponsored by the Logan Rotary club and will be in Utah for a month. The eight students have never traveled outside their town in Mexico. They earned the right to come to the USA because of their good grades in school and their completion of service projects in their community in Mexico.
As they spoke to the Logan Rotary club most of them could manage a few words in English but relied on an translator to get the message across that they were grateful to Rotary for sponsoring their stay in Utah.
Colima is the third smallest of Mexico's 32 states. Nestled between Jalisco to the north, Michoacán to the east, and hugged on its western boundary by the Pacific Ocean, it covers an area of 2,106 square miles (5,455 kilometers), with a coastline extending 97.5 miles (157 kilometers) and territorial waters claiming 823.5 square miles (2,133 square kilometers).From atop their thrones of fire and ice high above the Valley of Colima, legends say, the gods look down upon their ancient domain.

Wow, I was really excited to hear about this story. I delight in hearing about children enjoying opportunities provided by good people. I've never been to another country, but can only imagine the experience of visiting such a special place like this. I hope as good citizens, we were able to be the best examples we could. :)
