Yeah a student exchange. They would come here for a week and we would come there for a week. So the principal of the school where I was teaching asked if anyone would be willing to look after this. So I said, "Sure, I'll do that." (Laughs) And then we had this group of students come in from Ashcroft and farmed them out with different people here and- and ah they- they went over to school for a day and then went to the McCassa-Mine for a day and you-know tried to look at the community and see what- what it's like. |

But they do it, but I don't think the do do it in many ways because I think when other people do it they have family that's close to them and they farm out a lot of their- their parenting things to maybe their grandparents or aunts and uncles and unfortunately we don't have that- that- that ah possibility. |
