A note from UofR student & Gervickas Lithuanian School teacher Živilė Vėbraitė:
Labas!
As some of you may know, at the beginning of August I went to the University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a delegate from the University of Rochester.

The conference had over 1000 students from all over the globe. They came to learn more about world issues and how to bring about a positive change in our local and global communities. I am very happy for the opportunity to be one of those curious, passionate activists, eager to listen and talk to various leaders and to discuss solutions to world problems. Additionally, I am proud to be able to share Lithuanian history and customs with others - they were amazed about Lithuania!

Ačiū for your support and encouragement for my journey to the other side of the world!

I am sending you many linkėjimai from both Malaysia and Lithuania!

I hope to see you all at mokykla or at upcoming Lithuanian events in Rochester.
