WEP staff are always delighted to hear what past students are up to. Are you studying, working, or perhaps even off overseas again?

If you are a returned student and would like to organise a returnee function, contribute to this website or assist with the content of a returnee magazine, we would love to hear from you! WEP staff would be happy to assist in the organisation and promotion of such activities.

A recent email from a former WEP student:

"Hi WEP, I know it's been a while since I made contact but I though I'd give you a quick update. My name is Jamie Scott and I went to New York State on exchange with WEP in 2005 for a year. I'm currently back in America visiting my host family and friends for Christmas and am having a great time. I'd like to thank you again for finding me such an amazing family, they've really changed my life. Earlier this year my family hosted Florence from Belgium for six months and we became instant sisters. We got along so well that next year I'm going to Belgium for six months to live with her and her family in a sort of 'independent exchange' to learn French. I'm very excited! My time as an exchange student (and hosting) with WEP has been very rewarding and continues to provide me with great opportunities in international travel and making lifelong friends. I hope everyone at WEP has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Kind regards, Jamie (December 2007)

Lisa and Greta Whyte spent a semester in Belgium in 2006 - they sent us this photo as a reminder of their special time there!
