of Educational and Cultural Affairs YES Student from Afghanistan and His American Host Family Meet President Karzai in Boston On May 22, 2005, an ECA Partnerships for Learning Youth Exchange and Study (YES) participant, and his host family from Andover, Massachusetts, attended the 132 nd graduation ceremony at Boston University by very special invitation. President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai delivered the main commencement address and the YES student and his family were among the honored guests sitting just feet away from him. Following the ceremony the family was whisked away to an official luncheon in the quarters of the BU President. There they met with Karzai and the host mother presented him with an article written about the YES student in the local newspaper. Reflecting on the meeting she wrote, “ President Karzai made me feel like it was an honor for him to meet ME!”
