Elizabeth Pikaart (left), an outbound Youth Exchange student in 2009-10, spoke to the club about her experiences in Chile and how they have affected her life in the year since she has returned. She was joined by Francine Utreras (right), a friend and classmate she met during her year in Chile. As some may recall, Elizabeth was in Chile when the earthquake hit. She spoke eloquently about learning how privileged she was and how she wanted to make a difference in those less fortunate. She has been back to Chile at least once, has spent a month in Colombia to help with a Church reconstruction, and intends to go back to Chile to study.The Value of Youth Exchange - An Alumna's View
