Fai is on an exchange from Mutah University in Jordan, and wins first prize of £100. Here’s an excerpt from her testimonial:

I went through Cloud surfing, Dragon boat, canoeing, rambling, and many activities, also I have visited more than 20 different towns, cities and still looking forward to more exploring. The diversity in the communities that I saw let me feel great. Consequently, I am now the new version of myself, more independent in my choices, more considerate to different circumstances before deciding, and more responsible.
