The host families met at Casa Goshen yesterday afternoon. Williams Velez, our in-country assistant, and his wife, Lourdes, prepared some fun treats--including donuts! Patricia Zweir, our program consultant, worked her traditional wonders of finding families and making suitable matches for our students.

The families enjoyed sharing tips about how they help their students feel 'at home' and know how to keep safe. One of the photos features Oliedy demonstrating her favorite money belt.

We've begun the countdown to student arrival. Their plane is expected in at 5:30pm this evening and we are looking forward to welcoming them! Vaya con Dios
