METAMORPHOSIS OF CLAYChristine Lansdale Willis

Greek Summer, created in 1970, promotes intercultural exchange between Americans and Greeks under the sponsorship of the American Farm School, an independent, nonprofit school serving the rural youth of Greece and the Balkans.
The program is made for young people who are enthusiastic about immers-ing themselves in another culture, contributing to the quality of life in a rural Greek village, and making new friends with participants from throughout the U.S. and in their Greek community. Through the years, the American Farm School has built a tradition of helping Greek villagers meet their evolving needs through community service projects carried out by Greek Summer participants. During Greek Summer, young Americans undergo their own metamorphosis of thought and spirit as they work to accomplish set goals. The intensity of the experience leads participants to realize new potential and discover resources within themselves and each other.
