You may remember the excitement of traveling, the satisfaction of studying abroad, and the kindness that you received from local community members.

Can you imagine a little bit of Turkmenistan in Texas, Morocco in Wisconsin or Pakistan in Idaho? This year alone our scholarship students have enriched their US communities by:
- Raising hundreds of dollars in fundraisers for Pakistan flood or Japan earthquake victims
- Contributing to food and clothing drives across the country
- Working in Salvation Army Christmas charities
Volunteering at Special Olympics events
- Sharing traditional foods, dances, songs and customs with hundreds of community members
- Meeting with local or federal elected officials
- Inspiring U.S. peers to embark on their own exchange adventure
As you know, the journey doesn't end with the completion of the program. Friendships established during a year abroad extend beyond geographical borders. Want to bring this home to your community?
