The International Living Room Vol. II, issue 6  


Are you interested in finding ways to promote peace in your everyday life? The way to build a more just and peaceful world begins when people from different cultures meet, learn together, and better understand one another. Getting involved with AFS is something you and your family can do to bring about peace and understanding in the world.

This month read about an AFS family who has made an impact - and benefited from the hosting experience many times over.


"As host parents it was comforting to know that rules and standards of behavior would be enforced and we would receive your backing should the need arise. It was an excellent learning and sharing opportunity. The support for hosts and students was excellent. We will host another year when it seems best for our family."

The Rosenberg family thinks nothing of setting an extra place at the dinner table.

In addition to guests and friends of their eight children, Dr. George and Wendy Rosenberg have welcomed nine foreign exchange students into their Fawn home in the past 15 years.

"There was a time when we had eight, 10, 12 people around the dinner table," Wendy said. "The more, the merrier."

If you and your family are interested in welcoming an AFS Exchange Student as a short-term host family, replacement family, or full year family, please fill out the hosting interest form. We'll then connect you with a local volunteer to discuss specific students in your area.
