Host families needed for teens

Back home in Spain, Italy, Japan, Thailand, Mongolia, Germany, and Vietnam, teens are looking forward to their 2007-2008 school year in the U.S.A. Volunteer host families are needed to take in an international student and “treat as their own” according to Debbie Camp, Area Coordinator for Cultural Homestay International.

Host families do not have to have teens in their family to qualify as a host family. Families of all ages, with or without children, can make great host families.

Any family interested in sharing their lives with an international student should call CHI’s Regional Office at 1-800-210-6080 or locally, Debbie Camp at (937) 339-4312.
