| The AFS New Mexico Area is
part of American Field Service
Intercultural Programs, a student exchange program started in
1947 by volunteer ambulance drivers after World War II. Their
dedication to international volunteer service led them to create the
exchange program to promote international understanding among the next
generation. Today, AFS continues that tradition, working for a more
just and peaceful world, one student at a time. |

| The New Mexico area hosts about 20
foreign students and sends
10-15 students abroad every year. This year, we are hosting
students
from Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and the Middle East, and have
sent students to Europe, South American and Asia. |
