Thank You To The Families Who Will Host A Student From China Additional Families Needed!

I have had the privilege of meeting with families this past week who will host a high school student from China attending The Baldwin School in September.  Families open their hearts and homes to our students to share American culture while our students bring Chinese culture and the promise of an lasting international friendship to the host family.   Many families who contact me share that they want to host because they grew up in a home with their parents hosting. With full support and regular communication throughout the academic year from Elaine, students and host families can enjoy a rich cultural exchange and expand their horizons.  One host family commented "this has been a wonderful year and we have all learned so much.  I am going to miss our student over the summer and will welcome her back in September.  We plan to Skype over the summer."  

Compensation to the host family is $1,000.00 per month and transportation is available to school from Bala Cynwyd to Wayne.  

Students have proficient English skills, medical insurance, a cell phone, computer and expense account for all of their personal needs and entertainment.  They are mature and very self sufficient.  

You will have the opportunity to Skype with your student and her family during the matching process and get to know the student.   I have Skyped with my students a minimum of 3 times before presenting a student to a family.     

I invite you to call with your interest.  Enjoy a cultural experience with your student such as Dim Sum at Sangkee Asian Bistro and shopping at New Garden Asian Market which is included in the hosting program.  I throughly enjoy my work with my students and host families and welcome you to contact me for further information.  Time is of the essence, as I am beginning to matching students with host families within the next week!
