“I have worked with the exchange students through Nacel Open Door for 30 years, and the reason I am still working hard is that I enjoy working with teenagers so much. They energize me, and that is why I don't want to stop. It's always interesting and challenging. The host families are so generous and nice, that I consider a lot of them my friends. The students and families stay in touch with me throughout the years, and it's just so rewarding.”
