Hello AFS Friends! We are currently seeking a new host family for YES scholarship student Raiyan from India who is on program in Milwaukee and staying with a temporary host family.

Raiyan is attending Whitnall HS and has been doing very well there, even joining the Track and Field team which begins next month.

Do you know anyone in or around the Whitnall school district that could welcome Raiyan until the end of May when his program ends or for a short duration while we continue the search for a replacement family?

Thank you for your help!
