Host families participating in this program have the unique opportunity of experiencing what it's like to have a foreign
student as a member of their family for a short period of time (programs vary from 4 days to 6 weeks). Both the student
and the host family learn about each other's cultures. Often time life long frindships are established. If you are
interested in becoming a host family for one of these students, contact Area Administrator, Dorothy Whitefield at
