German Youths Gather For Return Home At New Windsor
A PRA group of 193 German youths finishing a year in the United States gathered at the Brethren Service Center New Windsor to prepare for departure. Hosts describe stimulating exchanges and fond memories as they head to New York and then Germany by plane or ship. Many spoke of American freedom and informality as transformative, while some teens expressed hopes to return or work in farming back home.
