11/23/2007 - AFS-USA/THAILAND Volunteer Exchange Update!

The long awaited AFS-USA/Thailand Volunteer Exchange has arrived.

From Thursday, November 27th through December 11th, eight AFS-USA Volunteers will have the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality and generosity of AFS-Thailand as they participate in that country’s annual Volunteer Conference. For the next 10 days, these volunteers will experience Thai family life as well as visit schools and local volunteer units, as well as enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful country.

To communicate their impressions and experiences, various members of the group will be sending updates and impressions about their experience while in Thailand.

To read these reports, please check AFSOnline, the Wiki and this website for the latest news about their experiences. The first of these reports will be posted later this week.
