One of our amazing host families, the Mackin family, recently reunited with Carla, the first exchange student they hosted with NOD, when she came back for a visit. We love seeing the bond they’ve continued to share! 💛
“After surviving our road trips, endless photo stops, and family shenanigans, Carla actually chose to visit us again! What started as hosting an exchange student turned into gaining family and a lifelong friendship. We are already planning our next adventure! Until next time—we’ll keep the fridge (mostly) stocked and the door open. ❤️🌍”
If you've ever thought about hosting, now is a great time to start! To learn more about becoming a host family with NOD, or if you know someone who might be interested, visit us at www.nacelopendoor.org/get-involved
