It was great to hear from Pasoari Widiastuti, a foreign exchange student at WHS from Indonesia. She gave a great presentation about her homeland. Fortunately, she goes by "Pow" because pronouncing her real name is "challenging."
Pow is active in the community and is earning a lot of Silver Cord hours. Recently, she was an elf in the Main Street Washington lighted parade...
Pow is staying with Lori and Roger Adams in Washington. Thanks for setting up this program, Sue Basten.
