Loving Families Wanted
Cultural Homestay International is currently looking for loving families to host a high school foreign exchange student. All you need to provide is a bed and food. Anything else outside of the house, they have their own funds. They have students that come from all over the world. Right now they have Vietnam, Germany, China, Slovakia, Colombia, Spain, Thailand, Mongolia, Belgium. The list goes on and on. Also, if you have a particular interest, you can find a student who might have the same interest as you. You can build a long time friendship and go visit them in their country. Many people have done that. The website is www.chinet.org
Email Kelly if you have any questions at ackelly@rocketmail.com
She can send you a lot more information.
They have so many students that they need to place within the next 2 months, so if you can't host for the 5 or 10 months, they are also looking for "Welcome Families" and thats for only 1 or 2 months.
