a lively exchange<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Sunday, four Au Pair in America Community Counselors hosted an Au Pair and Host Family Picnic at Honey Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, MA.\u00a0 This annual event offers au pairs and host families a chance to meet and connect with other families and au pairs in the program and to share a special New England fall tradition.<\/p>\n

Our picnic satisfies the State Department requirement for Au Pair in America to offer at least one mandatory host family workshop a year.\u00a0 This year, our focus was on International Day of Peace, which is today,\u00a0 September 21.\u00a0\u00a0 As an au pair agency, we bring different cultures together, building a bridge of understanding so important in our world today.\u00a0 Au pairs and host children had a chance to decorate peace rocks:<\/p>\n

Au pairs and host families enjoyed this visit to the apple orchard and took advantage of what the farm had to offer: apple picking, hay wagon rides, farm animals, a hedge maze, apple cider and apple cider donuts.\u00a0\u00a0 For more photos please go to Au Pair and Host Family Picnic<\/a><\/p>\n
