Announcing Our Spring 2018 Students!

The school year may have started, but we are looking forward to welcoming more exchange students to the United States! We are currently seeking host families for exchange students who will be arriving in early January and attending high school during the Spring semester. Are you unable to host a student for an entire school year but are still interested in taking part in cultural exchange? This is the perfect opportunity for your family!

Meet our students seeking host families

Miranda is a bright and outgoing 15-year-old girl who tries hard at everything in and out of the classroom. She’s earned the title of “Merit Student” every year and has also won awards for choir competitions. She enjoys swimming, basketball, volleyball, and ballroom dancing to relax and have fun. You’re in for quite an adventure when hosting Miranda!

Jack is a 16-year-old boy who is cheerful, gentle, and warm-hearted! He loves making friends and enjoys sports and outdoor activities. He likes pop music and promises to sing a few songs for his host family. He’s excited to share about Chinese culture and can cook Chinese food for them. His goal is to attend a university in the US, and he’s looking forward to studying abroad!

Help Us, Help Them: Hurricane Harvey

While Hurricane Harvey has brought devastating floods to many areas of Texas, we have been very fortunate and are happy to announce that our Austin office has not been impacted. We are safe and operating under normal business hours. Our thoughts are with our friends, families, and fellow Texans who have been impacted by the hurricane.

That being said the team at GWCA/CAN/SAE are gathering donations for Central Texas Food Bank and Austin Pets Alive to be allocated to our friends in need all over southern Texas. If you are local we encourage you to donate to the above organizations or you can bring your goods here and we’ll deliver them for you.

If you would like to participate, please bring whatever of the following:

Canned Foods
Anything from this list for cats/dogs (note that they do not need any dog food or dry food anymore.)

We appreciate your support and our continued thoughts go out to all those impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

Thank You, Summer Interns!

As the summer comes to an end, we are preparing to say goodbye to two incredible volunteers who have helped us immensely — our summer interns! These incredible interns have truly gone above and beyond over the past few months to help out with our agency’s programs. While we are so sad to see them go, we are very excited to see what their futures hold!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work this summer, and good luck with your future studies!
