J she can have plenty of room
ia her suitcases to pack her
North Carolina handcrafted

tehaceo twine pillow, pepper
jelly and corn meal for her
trip home to Chile.
The handcrafts and Tar
Heel specialties, given to Von
Brand by the Wayne County
l) Extension Homemakers,
were just a few of the memen
tos and memories she will
take home after participating
in the “AdoptA-Student” pro
gram following the end of the
spring semester in May.
The program was spon
sored fay the N.C. Extension
Ikwwmahnr Association and
the International Student Ad
visor’s Office at NCSU.
* Through the program,
students from Chile, Peru,
Venetuela, Mali, Malaysia
and Taiwan were given the
opportunity to experience life
in rural North Carolina for ’
Tailored to each student's
academic interests, “Adopt-
A-Stadent” allowed students
I) to interact with residents of
participating counties and
observe agricultural prac
tices and techniques as well
as the social and cultural
aspects of their host county.
In exchange for the learn
ing experience, students
shared the customs and
culture of their home coun
tries with extension
p homemakers, civic groups
and host families.
Von Brand, a one-year
Rotary scholar studying
forestry genetics, said she
carried a map with her all the
time so she could show the
many groups and people she
met the exact location of her
hometown Quilpue.
She said, “To speak about
a Chile three times a day is one
thing, but to eat Wayne Coun
ty home cooking three times
a day is something rise! 1
always tried everything, and
it was fantastic!’’
The food also was good in
Buncombe County acsgrding
toSmba TraoreofiggdiftfS
staftnt in crop science from
Mali, Africa. He said he en
r joyed being able to observe a
working American farm for
the first time while visiting
Buncombe County.*
As a former extension
agent in Mali, a country
where the land is worked .by
hand, Traore said he was im
pressed with the Buncombe
County communities and the
effect of the N.C. Agricultural
Extension Service network on
the implementation of new
techniques.
Over 1,000 North Caroli
nians were reached through
last year’s “Adopt-A-
Student" program which in
volved eight NCSU students
and five counties. This year,
the program grew to involve
IS counties and 30 students
from NCSU, East Carolina
University, UNC-Chariotte,
Central Piedmont Communi
ty College and Meredith
College.
Juba Seibert, international
chairman of the North
Carlina Extension
Homemakers Association,
said, “My goal in creating this |
program is for everyone
reached by the experience to
rwakae the i—njme
of the human family”.
