Host a foreign student

BY PARTICIPATING in Interculture Canada’s year
hosting program, area families can enjoy rediscover-
ing the beauty of their world as seen through the eyes
of a young person from another country.

Interculture Canada, a not-for-profit, charitable
organization administering international exchange
programs, has officially launched its 1989-90 host
family recruitment campaign. Close to 200 students
from as many as 30 different countries are on their
way to Canada for an entire school year.

These ambassadors of friendshi;:, aged between 15
and 18, look forward to fully experiencing Canada by
living with a Canadian family and studying in a local
high school.

Thanks to Interculture Canada, those who welcome
a student into their home can expect to live an inter-
cultural adventure tailored to their family profile. In-
terculture Canada carefully selects students from a
large pool of applicants and, through a sensitive fami-
ly-matching process, makes every effort to ensure a
positive climate for exchange. This way, families and
students not only discover their similarities, but also

grow from the richness of their differences.

The program is open to all family types: two
parents with children, single-parent families, childless
couples — all are welcome.

The pieasures of hosting largely rest on the accep-
tance of the student as a true member of the family.

Host families are not asked to absorb any outstand-
ing expenses for the student beyond the food, hous-
ing and incidental expenses they would for their own
teenager. Both student and family benefit from the
support of Interculture Canada staff and volunteers
throughout the experience.

As a member of AFS Intercultural Programs, In-
terculture Canada is part of the world’s largest net-
work of high school exchange programs. Established
in 1947 and operating in 66 countries, this educational
movement promotes intercultural understanding and
international development.

Families wishing more information about hosting,
and individuals interested in becoming Interculture
Canada volunteers, may call Joyce Lepine at 942-0895
or, toll-free, 1-800-361-1879.
