Exchange Student Survival Kit by Bettina Hansel, 2nd Edition (Intercultural Press, 2007)
With new introduction from AFS-USA Board Member, Janet Bennett.
Based on her more than 27 years with AFS International, Bettina Hansel, Director of Research, has created a revised and expanded edition of this book especially with AFS students in mind. The new edition of the book includes chapters on internet use and personal safety.

”It ought to be obligatory reading for staff, participants, host families and sending parents. There is so much advise and wisdom in the book by way of well written anecdotes that many very crucial issues get across in a nice fashion.”
Annelise Bech
AFS Partner Director, Denmark

Entreculturas magazine on culture from AFS Colombia (.pdf in Spanish)
