Mr. Albero,
My wife and I have recently been involved with Global Friendship as assistant coordinators for placing students from Spain in host families homes from 6/28 to 7/25. The program provides the students with an education of American culture and history. The Students will attend a daytime class from Monday through Thursday at Oak Ridge Baptist Church. Half day and full day trips have been planned to local and distant attractions such as Washington D.C., Ocean City, MD and Hershey Pennsylvania. The students ages vary from 15-17 and arrive under the supervision of a chaperone. If this sounds like something that your readers would be interested in we would love for them to contact us for more details. They will have an opportunity to view the students profiles and the itinerary prior to making any decisions. Feel free to email us at kahapner@yahoo.com or bmhapner@yahoo.com if you have any questions or are interested in hosting. There will be an interest meeting on Monday the 23rd at 6:00pm. We had the pleasure of hosting one of these students last year and it was a very special and heartwarming experience. Thank you very much for your time.

Years ago, I hosted an exchange student from Sweden. It was one of the most memorable times in my life! This young lady had never even seen a doughnut in her life! She said, "Imagine that. A mini cake with a hole in the middle". When her parents came to visit, she just HAD to take them out for doughnuts. They decided that when they got back home, they were going to open up their own doughnut shop. She was able to go to a local doughnut shop and watch the process of how they were made. There are way too many stories that I could share but this is one of my favorites. It is an experience that will live in your heart forever if you can take a student in.

I hosted a student from Spain last year. She is coming back this year to stay with us for a month. This was one of the best decisions I made to be a host family. She is now considered part of our family. We hope one year we can go visit her in Spain. Her family said that they would love for us to come and stay with them.
