    Congratulations Dina so proud of you and your whole Family for the work you do with these amazing kids from around the world through the AYA program. I am not surprised that y’all were twice nominated for Host Family of the year. God bless y’all and all the host families who exhibit the best of America.

    I have known the Berg Family for close to twenty years. Their genuine love of this program is apparent in all that they do and in their thoughts. The lives that have been changed and enriched through their efforts leave my heart warm and full!

    I admire them and am amazed at how natural it is for these students to fit right in to our small community. That is due in part to the kind of people the Bergs are. Ever welcoming!
