Keeping In Touch
Completing Your Contact Logs
For those of you mystified by how the database doesn't save your work, you are not alone. A useful trick I've learned when I have to enter a contact is to write my description in a Word document, and then copy and paste it into the database. I save the text file, and keep it in a folder on my computer called "Monthly Contacts." That way, if any of my work ever goes missing from the database, I have a spare copy, and can easily paste it back in.
YES Applications On the Way
Below is the list of countries for the YES program, though ASSE does not receive students from every country. Some countries have a very small allocation so if you have a family with a specific request, let me know, and we will do our best to get a student from that country.
Thank You from Yevhen
"Mary and all team of ASSE, I'm so thankful for your work you are doing for long time and projects you are creating for other people and also helping them to realize themselves and to be successful and positiv in American life, give an opportunities to other people it's a big worth of labor (work).

So greatful to you,guys! You implemented my dream! Thank you!"
What a difference this year in America makes for so many of our students in both big and small ways, and you all help in making that possible.
