Another Fat Student?

Should be blogging about Cornerstone. Should be packing for Cornerstone. But the kids haven’t left yet. With the exception of Inga, most of the AFS kids are still here for at least a few more days. This time of year we say good-bye, but we also remember. They have played a big part in our lives, and we think of them often. AFS stands for American Field Service. It is the oldest international exchange program in the world, started by ambulance drivers shortly after the end of WWII. Tired of seeing injured and dead bodies, they sought for another way to bring people from different cultures and nations together. Their dream has survived for more than fifty years and we’ve been privileged to be a small part of it. And as is the case with similar ventures, the rewards far exceed the costs. Bye guys. Remember, you are only a double-click away.
