  Potěšil mne pěkný článek o návštěvě mé prasestřenice Paní Vicki ve Vysočanech. Pokud se o návštěvě chcete dovědět více, tak se můžete podívat na můj web:
  http://www.patriot-vysocan.cz/ v části „Novinky,“ kde je o její návštěvě napsáno podrobněji. Také se můžete podívat na krátkou prezentaci na odkazu: Vicki a na kratičké video z návštěvy školy na odkazu: http://youtu.be/uWjERe76XJM
  Bohužel komentář neumožňuje otevřít odkazy přímo, takže si musíte zadat můj uvedený web do svého počítače a tam vše otevřete, nebo by to paní ředitelka musela doplnit do svého článku.

  Pro paní Vicki, kterou jistě článek potěší, tak jsem to přiložil v angličtině. A.J.
  
  For Vicki.
  I recently wrote an article about one American named Vicki
  Sundleaf Zacek, who sought their relatives from Vysočany
  
  She searched for them intensively 15 years and finally, we managed
  for her to meet her relatives.
  
  And because we (the pupils of the 4th and 5th class and our teacher,
  lady Rezková) helped her in searching for her roots, and our teacher
  also helped us to translate the letters, we could have welcomed Mrs. Vicki and
  her husband in the flesh in our school at the end of June.
  
  Meeting Vicki was moving for all of us. It all started with her e-mail
  Addressed to our school in which she introduced herself and asked
  for help in finding her relatives in Vysocany. At the age of 19 her grandfather
  with his 16 year old sister arrived in America before the First World War and
  stayed there. Little Vicki Zacek found her surname very strange, so later,
  as an adult, she began searching for her roots. During
  those 15 years she learned about Molenburk, and at the beginning of last September
  she sent several e-mails to our Vysočany. The director responded to
  the first, very confused e-mail translated into Czech by the automatic
  translator. Vicki responded very quickly and it did not take long and
  we were in correspondence. I asked Vicki to write e-mails in short, simple
  sentences, so the pupils of the 4th and 5th year could read English sentences not only
  in textbooks but directly "from life". So the beautiful e-mail-friendship between
  Mrs. Vicki, me and the oldest children in our school was born this way.
  We wrote about ourselves, sent photos and small
  gifts. The children talked about Vicki in their families and searched for
  her ancestors. It turned out that her relatives really live in Vysočany
  and Vicki was happy about the successful search. On 14 June 2013, she and her husband
  arrived in Prague where they were expected by her newly found relatives and they
  took her to Vysočany.
  On 18 June, we finally met Vicki in our school. We prepared for her and her husband
  Rodney puppet performance in English – the fairy tale called The Little Red Riding
  Hood. All of us participated in this performance, so we could demonstrate our
  English.
  
  The performance was successful and Vicki was moved. She gave the children
  nice American boxes with small gifts in them. She also received a gift from
  us. A paper tree created from many greeting cards in the shape of
  flowers. In each flower the children wrote a thank-you for Vicki.
  Vicki thanked us for the assistance in searching for her relatives and invited
  everyone to her home in California. After that, she answered many questions
  of our students, and then, we had to say goodbye.
  
  Meeting Vicki was amazing. Many of our students
  met a foreigner from such remote country for the first time.
  Most of them heard a native English speaker for the first time. I
  believe they realized how important is to be able to communicate
  in the world. They received an invitation to visit America. I believe that
  one day, they will use it. We will be in touch with Vicki, her address will be
  at school for all the kids who decide to see Vicki in America.
  For all our students, this invitation is a great chance to leave for the world one
  day and learn a foreign language, the language that is used by many people around the world.
  Let our children have this possibility once. As our parents did it for me many years ago.
  I will be thankful for that for the rest of my life.

  Thank you so much for the nice article. It was the trip of a lifetime for me. I am so proud to know that I came from Vysocany. I hope I can do a project with the children again this year.
