The @GlobalTiesUS and @StateIVLP impact of exchange helped bring Nebraska to one of our visitors' home countries of Timor Leste! LCIV Executive Director @CBockThiessen recently had the chance to visit an #IVLP participant that she hosted for Thanksgiving last November 🇺🇸➡️🇹🇱🌏

Last Nov, we hosted Novi Sang—a @StateIVLP visitor—for Thanksgiving at our home, and I feel SO lucky that the #IVLP exchange has come full circle as I’m returning from visiting her in her beautiful home country of Timor Leste! 🇺🇸➡️🇹🇱🌏
