What a fantastic event!! Over 200 au pairs, representing 36 countries, proudly created amazing displays about their homelands! Many sang or danced or shared other skills. Samples of foods were very popular too with the guests! Over 1000 guests and visitors also attended! There were smiles and laughter, great conversations, sharing of time and talents! Our au pairs worked very hard to convey what is interesting, magical and special to them from their home country. Many of their own family members supported them by sending traditional clothing, personal items and even foods!

 

Allison, from the Netherlands, did a fantastic job representing her country! Allison resides with a host family in Northern Calvert County.

Over 30 Au Pair in America Community Counselors panned and executed this year’s Cultural Fair. Our Community Counselors hailed from all regions of the greater Washington DC area from as far south as Richmond, north to Baltimore, east to Bowie and Annapolis,  south east to Southern Maryland, over to Cabin John, throughout Northern Virginia and even from Virginia Beach! They worked from March to May to organize all the pieces that went into the Cultural Fair.
