We are deeply saddened to share that Zdeněk Václav David, one of the very first AFS exchange students, passed away on December 15, 2025. Zed’s journey from Czechoslovakia to the U.S. in 1947 was made possible by AFS, and it set the stage for a remarkable life dedicated to learning, teaching, and connecting across cultures.
