Arrij, an Aspect exchange student from Pakistan, and her host mom Jori, talk about some of the great experiences they had during Arrijs academic year in the U.S.. Arrij came to America through the U.S. State Departments sponsored YES Program.
Youth Exchange and Study (YES) is a program that was established to provide scholarships for high school students (15-17 years) from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend up to one academic year in the U.S. The program is vital to expanding communication between the people of the United States and the partner countries in the interest of promoting mutual understanding and respect. Students live with host families, attend high school, engage in activities to learn about American society and values, acquire leadership skills, and help educate Americans about their countries and cultures.
Your awesome Arrij <3
