World Adventure from Home

Gboyah!  I'm thinking anyone learning Spanish might appreciate the experience of an exchange here in the Nacel Open Door has kids coming from Spain and France to the Atlanta area this summer who still need hosts.  Some of them are involved in our tutorial program and are in class/sightseeing from approximately 8:30-4:30 during the weekdays.  Others are simply home stay (not involved in our program- simply hang out with your family!) and there is a $200 stipend for hosts of these students.  You don’t need to have a fancy house (just a separate bed!) or feel like you have be entertaining.  Hosting a student is simply about being yourself and sharing who you are in your everyday life.  Trust me, who you are, as an American citizen, is going to be different and interesting in and of itself to those that come from other places and visa versa.  The kids in our program are doing this exchange because they want to get to know you, in part, as a taste of what it is to really be American apart from our pop culture and they want to learn English so they can be more global citizens.
Please consider expanding your experience of everyday life and help provide a good experience to one of these students.     Chaperones from each country accompany the students and stay in the Atlanta area for support.  The students come with spending money and insurance.  The dates for our first exchange this summer are July 7th- August 1st and our second exchange is August 3rd- August 23rd and if necessary this time can be shared with one other family.  For more information you can visit www.NacelOpenDoor.org and/or contact me, Angela Bennett at angelinATL99@gmail.com /(cell) 615-504-0069.  THANKS for anything you can do to help spread the word!Angela
