"Hi Mackenzie,
Congratulations! AFS-South Africa has just accepted your application!
Next, AFS-South Africa will match you with a Community Service Placement. This can be a complex process and may take some time. It is common for placement information to arrive during the month prior to your departure. So, if you don't hear right away, don’t worry, this is normal. Once we have confirmed the details of your assignment, they will be available on your AFS Account, so feel free to check there for updates.
In the meantime, I've included some tips on your next steps:
Secondary Medical Coverage: If your parents have questions about AFS medical coverage, they should review the secondary medical insurance plan information, which is located in your AFS Account under “My Documents”.
Immunizations: Check with your doctor, and refer to the CDC website to see what immunizations are recommended for US residents traveling to South Africa. Decisions about immunizations should be made by you since AFS does not give out medical advice.
Visas: Should your program require any special travel documentation in addition to your valid passport, you will receive notification from the Visa Coordinator approximately 1-3 months prior to your program departure, with directions for accessing your visa instructions online. Occasionally, vaccines are required for the visa. If this applies to your program, you will be notified in your visa instructions. Because your passport and participation may be required to obtain a visa, you should not travel outside of the U.S. during the 2 months prior to your AFS program.
Payment: As a reminder, you can check your balance and make tuition payments in your AFS Account under 'My Program Payment'
We hope you find these next steps helpful. Please let your Student Services Advisor know if you or your parents have any questions.
Warm regards,
Student Services"
