Our AFS exchange team is going to be hosting a blind student from Philippines starting in early August, 2019 through the end of the school year. The student will attend Winton Woods High School in the Green Hills area. We are seeking a liaison to provide support to the student and host family by doing monthly check-ins, and occasionally helping with transportation. Experience with blind individuals a plus, but not required. This is a wonderful volunteer opportunity. The family has hosted many blind and visually impaired students so they are well equipped.

Description
AFS is a not for profit intercultural education and exchange student organization. Partner countries from 50 different countries send about 2,300 students to the United States each year. AFS also sends approximately 1900 students and adults abroad every year. We provide support during their stay. Not all host families are obligated to hosting for a full year; some host as a temporary family until a family is found for the student. Students are provided with this program in order to explore new cultures around the world. This also gives families the opportunity to learn about another culture.
