Now more than ever, we’re seeing the world is a much smaller place than we think. The Aspect Foundation has brought the world closer together through its foreign exchange program.

They’re not letting the coronavirus stop them. We met Charity Damron last summer while she was getting ready to host her first exchange student from Italy. Over the past eight months, Chiara Militello has become a part of the Damron family.
