But did youknow that Poland was the first country in Europe to pass a constitutionor realize that they have the financial ability to send a groupof 7th grade students to visit Kimberton Waldorf School?“The whole adventure was like a multi-dimensional reunioncaptured in a real-life fairytale,” explained Benjamin Burg, teacherof the 7th graders from Primus Foundation out of Warsaw, Poland,and a KWS alumnus from the Class of 1985.The 7th graders from Warsaw may have names like Maciej andSergio, but they looked like typical American 13-year-olds wearingjeans and sporting T-shirts.“There was an interest in having our bi-lingual students practicein a native English-speaking country and my first thought wasKimberton,” Benjamin explained.Many KWS parents hosted the students for the week that theywere here. By opening their homes, they extended the exchangeexperience to include an intimate setting in which they could learnabout the students’ particular interests, the foods they eat, and themusic they listen to.“The program at Kimberton was to review early American Historyalong with biographies of historical figures with an emphasison local people.”And how did the KWS students enjoy the visit to the school? “Ibelieve the Kimberton students had a great time, too,” Benjaminsaid. “Watching all the hugs in the parking lot and seeing themrunning down the road as we drove away making their last farewell,well, that summed up the trip.”BenjaminBurg, topleft with 7thgradersfrom PrimusFoundation,Warsaw,Poland.
