We hope this season has been an opportunity to create wonderful memories with loved ones, explore new traditions, and spread peace throughout your community.  

Over the last few weeks, we held a holiday card design contest encouraging AFS students to share what the holidays mean to them. We’re happy to announce that the winner of our contest is Michela Roscigno from Italy, who’s hosted in New Jersey! 

Here’s what Michela had to say about her design: “During this experience I have [had] the opportunity to meet many people from all [around] the world, and to feel at home even if far away from my family. Sharing traditions became the essence of these holidays.” 

We hope this holiday card inspires you to reflect on the peace and understanding that AFS brings to communities worldwide. 

Warm wishes, 

AFS-USA
