My Nonprofit Reviews

International Friendships Inc. (IFI) has been an absolute blessing in my life. As an international student venturing outside my home country for the first time, IFI warmly welcomed me at the airport, and from that moment, I knew I had found a second family here in the US.

Staying with my host family provided me with a sense of belonging and helped me acclimate to the US culture faster than I could have imagined. I have had the pleasure of meeting incredible people who share similar passions and interests, and through IFI, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Throughout the school year, IFI has provided me with numerous opportunities to connect with friends from all over the world. We have embarked on exciting journeys, exploring new places across the US, creating memories that I will cherish forever.

More than just a social experience, IFI has taught me the true meaning of hospitality. I have learned more about serving others with love and compassion, just as Christ served and loved us. It is an experience that has enriched my life and made me grow more as a person.

I can't express enough gratitude to the amazing staff members and volunteers at IFI. They work tirelessly to ensure that international students like me feel at home, supported, and cared for during our time abroad. Their dedication is making a world of difference, and I am deeply appreciative of all they do.

IFI is not just an organization; it is a community that fosters unity, love, and understanding among people from diverse backgrounds. My journey with IFI has been life-changing, and I wholeheartedly recommend this incredible organization to anyone seeking to make meaningful connections and experiences while studying abroad.

Thank you, IFI, for being an essential part of my unforgettable journey in the US!
