International Dinner at Home: Greece Edition ๐Ÿฅ™

We wrapped up our semester of international dinners with a Greek-inspired feast, and it was a delicious success! The menu featured Chicken Gyros, served with warm pita and creamy tzatziki, alongside a fresh Greek Salad with feta, olives, and tomatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed a tangy Lemon Tart that was the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

The evening was filled with laughter and great conversation, and everyone loved the food. It was a wonderful way to finish our series of international dinners, and weโ€™re already excited for more culinary adventures next semester!

Lots of love,

Tanzania Trip & Welcoming the girls!

During the October break, a group of our brave girls from Portena embarked on an exciting journey to Tanzania, and we canโ€™t wait to share all the amazing experiences they had.

From the moment they landed, they knew it was going to be a magical experience. The girls immersed themselves in nature and explored the beauty of wildlife on an unforgettable safari. They saw lions ๐Ÿฆ, giraffes ๐Ÿฆ’, and elephants ๐Ÿ˜ in their natural habitatโ€”an experience they will never forget! Of course, they couldnโ€™t miss out on the crystal-clear waters of Tanzaniaโ€™s beaches. The girls swam and played in the ocean, creating memories that they will cherish forever.

Now, with hearts full of memories and adventures, and after having some two good weeks to rest, the girls are starting to arrive to CDL, so itโ€™s time to return to the school routine. The next two months will be intense, with plenty of studying and preparing for Christmas, but we are sure they will be unforgettable!

With love,

Portena Team ๐Ÿ’—
