An unforgettable experience in Egypt!

My AFS experience is one that has changed my life forever. I did a six months community Service program in Egypt with many Egypt’s Street Children. I made many wonderful friends that I will cherish forever. I was also very lucky to travel all through Egypt with AFS and friends.

Changing the world...

Perceptions change and evolve. It’s impossible for people living a experience abroad to see things with the same eyes after they return. Poverty, inequality, corruption, even hope…for me, these concepts now have a face, a smile, eyes watching me, emotions, names. I rediscovered the belief that everything is possible, that with one step at a time, one person after another, we can change things.
