My AFS Experience

“After school each Wednesday my AFS friends and I get together at the local mall called Shopping Mariscal Lopez. These friends are from around the world; Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Chile, Peru, Turkey and of course, America. Even though this is a weekly tradition for us, I’m still amazed that I can have friends from such far away places. That’s the beauty of AFS.”
