Exchange Students From Australia

Apex Club of Penang had the privilege of hosting two exchange students from Australia. Anne Vella hails from Childers in Queensland and Elizabeth Keogh from Mackay.
Anne is 18years old and is on the verge of joining James cook University in Townsville and hopes to study pharmacy. She is the second child in her family of nine and her father is a farmer whilst her mother is a special education teacher . Elizabeth, on the other hand is also of the same age as Anne and has joined the University of Queensland where she will take up civil engineering. She is the eldest daughter of a businessman who imports timber and her mother is a book-keeper and a secretary. She has two younger brothers who are still in school.
The two visitors were hosted by Apexian Edward Mai. They were taken to an educational tour to one of the Semi-Con factories in Bayan Lepas and also around to places such as the Snake Temple, Goddess of Mercy Temple and the beach at Batu Feringghi. They also had the opportunity to join in Apex activities organised by the Apex Club of Penang, such as packing goody bags for the Treasure Hunt around Penang Island, joining in the Treasure Hunt by becoming passengers in Apexian Terrie Loo's car and taking part in the special project at the Cheshire Home. When inquire about these projects, the response from the two visitors was "Excellent"
