[Maillist] Culture and Diversity

[Dara Shifrer]

We’re looking for a few good homes interested in hosting a foreign exchange student for the school year of 2007-2008!!  Being a host family is the closest that you can come to actually experiencing a different culture without traveling.  Besides enabling an amazing experience for the student, you are truly contributing to increasing understanding and tolerance on an international level.
 
We currently have student applicants from Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Moldova, Norway, Thailand, Ukraine and Vietnam.  Some of these students have specifically requested placement in the southern United States – and how lucky are the students placed in the great city of Austin!
 
You must be able to provide room and board for the students, but all other costs are covered by their families (including a monthly stipend to cover any incidentals).  You can find more information on the organization facilitating this and on the process of becoming a host family at: www.aspectfoundation.org/ex_training/pdffiles/10_Steps.pdf.  I am the International Coordinator (IC) for the Austin area – if you know of a family who would be interested in this opportunity or if you are, please contact me at luemoonbay90 at hotmail.com or (512) 466-0535.
 
Thanks very much!
Dara Shifrer
