Seth's visit came at an opportune time for the Trenton, New Jersey USA Chapter of People to People. He was able to attend one of our regularly scheduled meetings where he met many of the members. President Len Tharney restructured his agenda for the evening so Seth could give a presentation to the membership. We left the meeting appreciating the opportunity that our chapter had to be the first hosts of a visitor from a chapter in Ghana.

This was an unprecedented homestay experience for us. Yes, it was challenging for us at times. However, the joys exceeded the difficulties. This was emphasized to us when we received our first e-mail message from Seth after he had returned home. It was signed, "from your own son SETH."

Through this homestay, we have realized the PTP mission to enhance friendships and exchange ideas through face-to-face direct contact. We have also experienced different American cultures and discovered that some cultures were quite distinct from ours. I was very impressed by the friendly attitude of American people. We all agree this is the most successful and worthwhile trip that we have been on in our lives.
