So to start with, a few words from our on-the-spot reporter - Kuba (OC Exchange):
"Hey folks!
Only 12 days left to the beginning of the project! So many things have changed
during last few weeks! Although the midterm exams are coming, we don’t neglect
the organization of PEACE 2013 edition! We’ve managed to match almost all EPs,
namely 23. So far, we have interns from Indonesia, Brazil, Kyrgyzstan, China,
Japan, Singapore, Malta, Egypt, Russia, Argentina, Vietnam, Mexico, Hungary,
Ukraine, Switzerland, Georgia, Korea and Moldova. Who will be our another
victim? ;p
Our Logistics Team had to face several problems with finding enough schools interested in our project. But the greatest power is in the unity, which was proved true, as during ONE WEEK the number of high-schools about to take part in PEACE 2013, raised from 13 to 32! How did we solve the problem? Very simply. Every single person from our Organizing Committee got a few schools to contact with. Some rejected the offer, most were delighted with the idea of the project. It took me less than one hour to call the schools that I was told to contact. The effect was amazing- we could close the list after only 5 days from the beginning of our super intensive team-work!"

...which is totally awesome and makes us even more motivated to get down to work in order to have everything signed and sealed before the arrival of our new friends from all around the world!
And some more brand new faces in our EPs' team:
Michelle Ow - always merry and smiling, she is a charming girl from Singapore. We all hope that she will have a chance to see the snow which she has never ever seen in her country.... So a snowman maybe, anyone?
Paulo Henrique Oliveira - well with this guy we won't get bored - that's for sure ;) Coming from Brazil, he loves partying and...singing - our exchange team won't ever forget the song about Poland which Paulo was singing (and playing with his keyboard) during the Skype interview, with the lyrics about Wieliczka, Kalwaria Zebrzydowska and other places worth visiting in our country; it was a truly unique masterpiece!
And our another EP is an ambitious student form Indonesia - she says "I'm Nurina Ramadhiny, usually known as Rina. 20 years old. I'm from Semarang, Indonesia. Currently studying architecture engineering." Will Nurina be impressed with the polish monuments of architecture?
