Being a host family has changed our lives in a very positive way. We have gained 3 daughters and am now hosting our 4th. Our entire family loves the girls. We have 14 grandchildren and our students get to know them and build long term relationships with them. Yes, when we first started, we had no idea how it was going to go. But I am here to tell you we are so glad we did it. You will build your family with not only the student but with their families as well. Our first student has been back twice and is also coming back soon for another visit. She will also be here when our next student arrives and will be able to help her get started and meet new friends. At the start we had no idea how hosting would change our lives and it did in so many ways. The reward in hosting has no limit as to where it goes. Being called Dad by our girls just makes me feel so good. I encourage you to host a student – it will be the best time that you will ever have.

This year in America has been the best experience I have ever had. I am not going to say it has been always easy but I have made friends from all over the world, met people that are family for me now, become fluent in a completely different language and created a life for myself in another continent and the most important part, I have grown so much as a person. I have learned to get out of my comfort people and zone and I have created a second home. I highly recommend this experience and I am so happy and thankful for having the opportunity and privilege to experience it.
