Mrs. Belohuba

Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit an elderly woman who lives in the town of Strakonice. This is our team leader (Leah's) hometown, she met Mrs. Belohuba in line at the supermarket this past February. We met with her and had tea and cake at her (Mrs. B's) house. She told us stories of WWII and about her life growing up in communism in the Czech Republic. This was an amazing experience and provided valuable insight into the Czech's history in the past 100 years. Her husband died almost 2 years ago so she is always happy to have visitors. I am so excited to learn more about the Czech culture through its youth and through its elderly. I hope that I have more opportunities like this over the summer!
