A page dedicated to publishing some of the feedback we receive from Belarus, both children and parents.

All the following excerpts  are from correspondence received from Belarus . They reflect the true feelings of a wide range of children and parents in Belarus who have participated in these visits to Pembrokeshire.
We thank you very much for the hospitality to our daughter…she was so happy about this visit and her memory is full of events and emotions from the trip…

We met them at the airport and all the way home they were telling us about you...thank you very much for your kindness, love and care…after her stories we have a feeling that we have already met you and become friends...she is very happy that she will return in the summer...especially she loves the sea.

There are only 10 pupils in my class, out of whom 4 went to England. And this summer another 3 people from my class will go to England. Our school gets a lot of trips to England and everyone is very glad about it…

You ask what I most of all liked and remembered. Answer...EVERYTHING! The ancient castle and the sailing but my Ma most of all liked it when I abseiled down the cliff. All the time she is happy for me that I have seen the world and flown...Mama sends huge greetings and thanks!

Our daughter misses you so much. She never went so far in all her life and there are such strong impressions of you place.

You ask what I most enjoyed in Wales. I would say EVERYTHING! I liked the sea, the castle, the concerts, the films and I can never forget how we leapt from the rock (coasteering) and climbed them. I very much enjoyed the walks and loved to go to Fishguard and St David’s and the beaches. My mother really likes the concert with Jim Couza and the gypsy music. In our town such concerts we don’t have. My trip to England was of use to me because now I have in English language an 8. It is good and 10 the best!

With huge greetings and the very best wishes to you from her mother. I want immediately to say to you huge personal thanks for being to our daughter like a family, like a second mother and father. She returned from you with a mass of wonderful impressions and talks a good deal about you.

During this month with you she has grown up and on her return she was with her sister for two whole days and never went out! They were talking talking!

I want to say that this summer was the best ever in my life. I saw and found out a lot and learnt to swim. Huge thank you to you for everything. I miss you all a lot and love you lots.

We give you great thanks for the wonderful rest for our son. He became taller and stronger and indeed returned home from you grown up. Already nearly a month has passed after his return but it makes no difference for several times a day he recalls you, your family and your home. The children have looked at the photos and all the family have watched the video with pleasure several times. In absentia we have become acquainted with the places our son has visited.

Every day she remembers something about you.

The children have grown very fond of you and it is something heartfelt and sincere. It is not possible to forget.

Both our children have been somewhat ill this winter and it is hard to see ones children when they fall ill but perhaps with you this summer they will get stronger and recover their health. These trips they remember all their lives...to this day she recalls the time she was with you.
