lnternotionol Fellowship International Fellowship is a non-profit organization which seeks to achieve understanding among all the peoples of the world, regardless of race, creed, or national origin. The Fe1lowship's aim is to uphold the true democratic way of life, and to protect the enjoyment of human liberty and the inherent dignity of the individual. Another purpose of the Fellowship is to achieve better international relationships through the ex- tension of knowledge and mutual understanding, and to enlighten public opinion regarding the problems of international conflicts. To implement the purposes of the above organization, a Student Exchange Program was conceived This program enables a student to visit another country and learn not only academically, but to have the experience of living with the native families. This provides the students not only with a formal ed- ucation, but also an understanding of that country's cultural and social life.
