Publisher’s Note: Vermonters in the Mad River Valley founded Project Harmony in the 1980s, when USSR/US tensions were at their height, with the mission of connecting peoples across cultures and countries that were at geopolitical odds with one another. Three decades later, and PH International has grown into a powerful global nonprofit still doing the good work. Watch, listen, learn, and consider hosting a Russian exchange student this summer! Find out more about hosting in our extended interview with PH International’s Tracy Guion.
