My son was one of the children to go and he stayed with a beautiful family you didn’t get a phone number but I can remember ringing the international operator from work and tracking down anyone with their surname in Schenectady and I eventually got speaking to my son, that was a long summer for me and a summer to remember for my son!

I sent my daughter to Holland and America. It opened her perspective on the world. One of the best decisions I’ve made.
