Host Families Needed
We still need families for the Doshisha Japanese kids coming in from the 29th of July through the 17 of August. You can do part (hopefully the second part) if you'd like or the whole thing. It's a wonderful cultural experience with many activities in the afternoons your kids can participate in such as Tanglewood, Six Flags, barbeques, Look Park and more!! You will be responsible for feeding them at your house and making them lunches, plus dropping off at 9 at Amherst College and picking them up there around 4. Carpooling is always available. You get a stipend to cover food from your house plus they bring their own money if you go anywhere during weekends etc. This is something you don't want to miss. Becky and I have been hosting and I have been teaching these kids English for 5 years. They're all around 15-16 years old and don't need their own room to stay in. Please contact Dianec711@comcast.net for further information and an itinerary. If you know of anyone please also pass this along to them. We have 15 kids coming and are still short quite a few families. Let's make these kids feel welcome while enjoying a once in a lifetime experience!
