TWO students from Trinidad and Tobago have been coming to terms with the English winter as part of a cultural exchange to east Cleveland.
Bassel De Graff, 18, and Ayanna Sylvester, 19, arrived in Britain last week as youth delegates to the Commonwealth Education Conference, in Edinburgh.
They are now staying with students at Guisborough's Prior Pursglove College, who are Amy Coleman, 17, of Guisborough and David Scales, 18, of Saltburn.
They represented east Cleveland at the conference where they met Bassel and Ayanna. All four friends will spend this week hosting and addressing debates at Prior Pursglove College.
They will also take part in tomorrow's Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's 14 to 19 Conference, which will be attended by college principals and senior educationalists from across east Cleveland.
"They're not going to be working all the time though," said Prior Pursglove spokesman Liz Grove.
"They're going to go to the community fireworks night at Skinningrove on Wednesday and they're having fun finding out about life as a British student and meeting the other students."
