When my first tuition bill arrived, I wondered how the finances of a non-profit organization could add up so quickly! For the first time (other than my mom of course...), I have an academic advisor at my disposal. I gave her a ring, and she broke the costs down simply. AFS tuition includes host school placement, orientations, international travel, suitable host family placement, the assistance of an AFS guidance counselor, blah blah blah...the list goes on! My parents have generously covered most of my tuition and I have been working hard to support myself the rest of the way. Luckily, AFS recognizes April as their "dollar-for-dollar" month! This means that every dollar donated to send me abroad this month will be matched exactly by AFS. I would be so thankful for help towards my goal this month of $500. Just think - your support could help buy my Italian textbooks for public school, match me with the perfect family, or even fund a weekend trip to Rome, Venice or Florence. Excuse me while I go sharpen my fundraising skills to their finest. Grazie!
