Foreign Exchange Brings the Opportunity of a Lifetime for Paulding Families

Aline, a bright and cheerful twin from northern Germany, arrives in mid-August for a solo adventure.  While her twin sister heads to the midwest, Aline's ten-month foreign exchange experience will bring her to Paulding County where she will attend East Paulding High School.  Her host family, especially her little host sisters, can't wait for her to join them for all sorts of fun.  Nora, a talented and nationally-recognized guitarist from Serbia, will join Aline at East Paulding High School.  Nora's extended host family is thrilled, planning all sorts of activites in advance and eager to help her make this the time of her life.

Hosting foreign exchange students is a rewarding experience both for students and their new families.  For more information on making a student's dream come true...to give them the chance to become an American high school student and a beloved member of an American family, contact PAX Academic Exchange:  www.pax.org.

Note:  PAX Academic Exchange is a non-profit educational organization designated by the U.S. State Department and granted "full listing" by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET).
