Students are being brought up from South America to fill job vacancies in Williston and Minot, North Dakota.
College students from South America have been working at a number of Williston businesses since December. They are in town via a work program run by Maryland-based company United Work and Travel.I remember going through Wall, South Dakota, some years ago, and visiting Wall Drug. While there, I met a number of student workers who were there during the summer, in a similar program. The student workers at Wall Drug at that time were from Eastern Europe, shortly after the "wall" had come down. Words cannot express how happy they were to experience the United States. It was a very rewarding experience. For me and for them.
Most of the students are from the countries of Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia.
About half of the 90 students are in Williston, the rest are in Minot and Dickinson. The students will be working until March.
