On 19 February, one of our international students Miki had a birthday. Her kind host family made a fun, happy celebration out of it. Miki and Winnie (another of our international students) prepared chef-quality native dishes from their countries and Sushma, the mother of the host family, prepared dumplings, and apple pie with mochi ice cream.
Afterwards, they cut the birthday cake and gave Miki some gifts as a memory of her birthday in New Zealand.
