AFS-USA is launching a major fundraising campaign that will employ all of the communications tools we can- direct mail; email; social media; zoom calls and telephone calls (and when possible in-person calls) with donors; and a fundraising challenge to match $500,000 which has been generously set-up by Bert and Candace Forbes, long-time donors and supporters of AFS-USA.
I am writing to bring your attention to the fact that on June 22, 2020, the White House issued a proclamation suspending some non-immigrant visas, however, to be clear, the proclamation does not include the high school (secondary school) category of J-1 visas.
We continue to make steady progress on accomplishing the return of the remaining AFS students still in the US, and as of today, we have just over 100 students awaiting travel. We remain focused on supporting these students and their host families, but today I am pleased to share with you a video message focused on a question we all have on our minds; “Where to now for AFS-USA?”.
I want to thank you, the volunteers of AFS-USA, for being MY inspiration over these very tough past few weeks. The fact that April is Volunteer Appreciation Month could not be more fitting, and please know that you are greatly appreciated!
