AFS Volunteer "Fadderkompis" Fall 2009
Our whole family has become a support family for a girl named Guitar this year. The job description is slightly different from "fadderkompis" but the core is still the same. We are still there to support her through hardships in her year abroad. Guitar has stayed at our house a few days every now and then as she has had problems with her family, and we've also taken her to a harvest festival at Wiks slott and other "exotic" activities. She's helped us pick rowan berries to make jelly and we've made her a birthday cake (which in the end was ruined, so we had to buy one, but it's the thought that counts!) I've had some contact with her over e-mail as well, discussing what she can do about every day issues such as not understanding the bus system for the "lantisbussarna". She even calls me her "sister" which I find very flattering!
