Foreign exchange student from Brazil adapts to Northwest Iowa
George Cattaoco de Arruda from Fortaleza Brazil arrives at Western Christian High under the International Fellow ship program. He stays with the Richard Vande Hoefts in Harris for two months and comments that U S culture differs, cold weather feels severe, and he notes Brazilian farming relies on manual labor. He mentions soccer swimming golf basketball and Americanized influences like cigarettes and TV. He also notes Portaléza as a city of one million people in the state of GerA with plantations and smaller farms nearby. He hopes to pass college admission tests upon returning home and observes Brazil exports corn coffee cattle tobacco sugar oranges and bananas.
