AFS Intercultural Programs Seeking Host Families in the Greater Des Moines Area!

Here’s a great thing about genuinely loving another person:  it always changes you and the world for the better.  The very act of opening up your heart starts the shift, and, with time, you find that, somehow, not only has your life improved, but so has the world around you.  And when the person to whom you open your heart is a child, and one who is from a different country and culture than your own, there’s an extra bit of magic that occurs.   You and the world not only improve, you transform.
