“Our club is definitely for those who are interested in learning about many different countries and cultures around the world,” Orona said. “It gives new people, especially foreign exchange students, a chance to fit in, get to know and make new friends.”
There has been a variety of countries that have been presented in the club, such as the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Spain, Austria, France, Mexico, and much more.
“Every monday we meet and the presenter goes up to display their country,” Orona said. “While they present, officers would hand out food that the presenter has brought. These specific types of food are native to their place.”
