Hosting Plea From Language and Friendship
Bonjour,
You are a great community and your help is needed to welcome students from France and Spain who are dreaming of having an American experience!
Students do not come to be entertained but simply to practice their English and experience American life-- just ordinary things like bike rides, swimming, learning how to make smores and brownies, going to a softball or baseball game... Whether you are crazy busy or laid back, the important thing is just opening your hearts and your home. They are so anxious to hear news of a host family!
Dates of the students' visit:
