“All I can say is, it is a wonderful experience. We love it. These kids are just so willing to help and want to be a part of the family.”

“Martin is absolutely wonderful! He is like one of my children. He has shared his life with us, and he has shown us what a wonderful experience this can be. I hope he comes back often, our home will always be open to him and his family.”

“I went to Europe this past summer to visit two former students. This was the first time I had been to Europe, and I probably never would have gone had I not hosted students in the past and had someone to visit.”

“Having a daughter brings us so much joy by her openness, love of life and total enthusiasm for the most ordinary activities! My children get along so well with her. She attends church weekly and is director of the children’s choir. It feels like she has been with us forever.”

“My daughter Gesche will always be in our hearts, we will always keep in touch. She is our friend as well as a child of mine. This experience is a treasure I will always keep close.”

Thank you! Our family will be changed forever and grown to include family in Colombia!! What an experience!
