WELCOME TO THE YES PDO!

After a week's worth of traveling and preparing, Tom Toomey and his team are all ready to greet this year's YES Afghanistan students in India. Starting July 17th, when 19 of the 34 students arrived at the YES PDO site up north in Punjab, our staff has been working hard with these students so they'll be better prepared for their year in the U.S.

Everyday they have a variety of classes with four professional teachers, 3 from the U.S. and one from Kyrgyzstan. Day by day, our YES students improve their English skills, learn how to write essays, find out more about the YES program and have fun inside and outside of class. We run the camp like an American high school so our students will be better prepared when they arrive in the U.S. in August.

For one month we will be here and we would like our dear readers to check in with us daily to find out what we are doing here. Hope you enjoy our blog!
