Latvian and Polish students are in Great Bend this summer on a cultural exchange program run by Southwestern Advantage and Global Educational Concepts (GEC) through the United States Department of State. During the first week in August, exchange visitors conducted a service day at the Great Bend Brit Spaugh Zoo. Participants removed litter and weeds from the property and assisted staff with groundskeeping duties.
