Alina Gradl – Scottsdale, AZ
The most special moment was when my Host Child fell asleep with me for the first time and then also with his head on my stomach.

My work is in equine therapy. The people with special needs were so happy and grateful for the opportunity to ride horses. I will never forget how their joy transferred to me and how much they were able to learn in a short time. I’m grateful that I was able to accompany them.

To see what impact my work has on my Host Child and the family, that I can help him to become more independent, while still learning a lot for myself. I also met a lot of great people here and have new friends from all over the world.
Jacqueline Utz – Philadelphia, PA
The most special about my time here is that I found a second family here. I learned many things from them, I got way more patient and my Host Kid’s therapist showed me many things I can include in my therapy sessions back in Germany!
