Host families needed for foreign exchange students

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

70 families still needed

Host families - with or without children - are needed to host international high school exchange students for the upcoming 2008/2009 fall semester or academic year.

Students speak English; have spending money, and medical insurance.

Families are able to review student applications and select the student they feel best matches their family and provide a bed, meals, and a caring environment.

The students, from over 30 different countries, are hoping to arrive in August and will enroll in Brownsville area high school.  For more information please phone Yvette Coffman at the SHARE! Southwest Office at 1-800-941-3738.
