"It was a priceless experience to be welcomed to the school with open arms, and to be able to enjoy the children's company to the fullest. I will remember the experience in the years to come", said Lyne Laurendeau, a member of the crew.
During the gathering, the Canadian guests also provided the kids with gifts as a token of appreciation.
