We hope to bring someone into your life that would sincerely welcome you into theirs.
For you’ll discover, it’s not simply the travel to another country that’s difficult, it’s making a new life in a new place. After enough time, the sense of adventure wears off and the novelty is no more. That’s when you will need a friend or two to walk alongside you in this new phase of life. Sadly, 70% of international students in the U.S. are not making significant friendships with Americans.
Bridges wants to change this.
Choy, an international student, shares the challenges of first coming to the U.S. and how Bridges made a positive difference in her life.
Have you ever been in a strange, new place where you didn’t have friends?
