Host Family Needed for a student Bolivia!

The Massachusetts Bay Area Team of AFS Intercultural Programs is looking for a family to host an amazing young man from Bolivia for the remainder of the school year (April to June 28, 2016).

Edgar is from Bolivia and will turn 17 at the end of April. He is determined, curious, and inquisitive with an interest in math and science. He is taking all 11th grade honors and accelerated courses plus Art II. He is planning on doing a spring sport and is deciding between playing water polo or track for a spring sport. He has a good command of English, and it continues to improve.

He enjoys watching educational and cultural videos on YouTube, reading and playing video games. Edgar asks questions that cause us to think and learn right along with him. Because he has been diligent in his studies, we want to him continue with his academic experience at Needham High School. Edgar will thrive in a home of “empty nesters” or in a family that enjoys long conversations about societal differences.

Anyone interested in learning more about Edgar or the AFS hosting experience should contact Amy Gerhard at agerhard@afsusa.org or 646-381-3304 or 401-318-0061. Please share this email with friends and neighbors in Needham so we can find a family for Edgar.

Additionally AFS is beginning to receive application for the 2016-2017 academic year, meet the students that will be coming to Massachusetts at http://www.afsusa.org/host-family/our-students/meet-students/ .
