EXCHANGE STUDENTS FROM SPAIN NEED HOST FAMILIES

Host families are needed for students that will be visiting from Spain this summer. The 35 students ranging in age from 13 to 18, will arrive on June 29, 2013 and depart on July 27, 2013. They are coming through an organization by the name of EMY which is located in the Northern part of Spain. To date 15 students sill need host families to stay with while they absorb the American Culture. The students will participate in three excursions each week from historical cultural and entertainment sites, including, Alcatraz, I Fly, Great America an Oakland A's Game, etc. All of the excursions are paid for by the program as well as the ground transportation to and from the excursions. The students come with their own spending money and with full insurance. All of the students have studied English and are coming to experience the American lifestyle as well as to improve on their English. Host families are asked to provide the student with a bed as well as the cultural exchange. If you can not travel the world this summer, consider letting the world come to you! If you would like to participate in this wonderful, cultural experience are get more information, please call Jan Garcia at 510-749-7061 or email her at garciapuccini@aol.com
