“I can now count to 10 in about 11 different languages. In Russian, I can

count to 40. I can say "How are you?", and reply, in about 14 different

languages.

And I have my EP family, from America, Egypt, Russia, and India. My favourite

AIESEC moment, was when my EP family organised a surprise for my

birthday - brought a cake to my room, and I ate a cake for the first time

without any forks, napkins, or plates. That night, I had "Happy Birthday"

sang to me in 11 different languages. Nothing, can buy that experience.

Nothing will ever replace that experience. I left for Europe alone, and I

returned with a family and friends and languages and stories from all over

the world. And it was all thanks to AIESEC.”

To ensure that AIESEC can continue to operate we need to

explaining to you whether AIESEC can provide that for you.

“ I worked in Arts Education in the Education department of Himalaya Museum in

China. This involved organizing and participating in workshops with children between

ages 9-12. The workshops were focused on educating and promoting potential

young artists. I was motivated to go on a second exchange because I saw an

AIESEC exchange as the ideal vehicle to develop myself, connect with locals in a

given destination in a meaningful manner. My 2nd exchange to Bulgaria was a good

experience. It was an adventure into a totally different environment. My program

involved teaching school children from high school years about the Millennium

Development Goals.”

Exchange Participant: Swapnil Mindhe

First Exchange: Explore China, Mainland of China
