A participant from the city of Rafaela, Santa Fe will also travel to the United States thanks to a scholarship granted by the local government of Rafaela.
The Ambassador and the students talked about the importance of exchanges in education. Also present at the event were members of the companies, Mayor of Rafaela Omar Perotti and AFS- Argentina delegates.
