New Mexico: 4 Exchange Students still in need of homes!

Tabbi, please pass this along. Thanks!

We're having lots of fun with our exchange student this year. She’s been with us since July 28th. So far we've met two other homeschool families who are also hosting students with the same exchange program. This year my children will get a chance to know our own student from Austria, a young lady from Spain, another young lady from Russia, and another from Bulgaria as well as students from many other countries.

All that is required of you is that you provide them with a place to sleep, food to eat, a place to wash their clothes and make sure they get to school. They can ride the public or school bus to and from school.

If you are interested in making a cultural experience part of your child's education, please contact me for more information on how you can host one of these students.
