Friendly Exchange is
looking for loving families who would be willing to open their hearts and homes
to an exchange student from Guatemala. The program is an 11 week program.
Students arrive September 23, 2016 and depart December 10, 2016. The exchange
students attend school with their host siblings.
At this point the
program only has boys left - in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. These kids will be
placed in homes with students of the same age and gender. The program’s purpose
is to promote peace and understanding by providing a cultural exchange
experience for the exchange students and their host families. This experience
will foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for other cultures, customs
and way of living.
The students fund
their own experience. All that is asked of host families is to provide room and
board, to accept and love the exchange student as one of their own, and offer
them some unique Minnesota activities. Many tremendous lifelong friendships have
been formed through this program.
If you would like to

her family have hosted 5 times.
