Welcome Picnic
“It was really wonderful experience being a part of picnic. it was really giving a feeling and sense of community…before coming here I was bit nervous and having so many things in my mind related to life and all. But through MFIS I got good feeling and support and looking forward to see you all and to be together as a part of community. As it is for me a place where I can call HOME AFTER HOME.”

Temporary Homestay
“I was really worried when I wanted to travel to US as that was my first time to live in a foreign country. But, after arriving to US and met Simone and Roland, I found that it is very good country and people are really nice. I believe that this MFIS program is really really helpful for international students and scholars…”

“Having lived in another foreign country before, where it took me 8 months to find my footing, I do not take for granted that Dean has spent himself to make feel at home in Madison, and has sacrificed so much for me. This is a thank you to MFIS, and to Mr. Dean. I will forever be grateful for this program and will remain indebted to Dean even beyond my stay in Madison.”
