We need You!

WE need your help. STS Foundation has 48 international students who will be coming to Wisconsin in late august and we are searching for caring host families who can open their hearts and homes to show these students what American Family Life is all about while they attend your local High School. Some schools have early deadlines to enroll these students, so the sooner we have a host family assigned to them the better and the host family can begin to communicate to them throughout the summer months before they arrive in early August. Can you help us by recommending one or two families who you think would be a great host family for one of these students. To apply to host go to http://www.stsfoundation.org/cm/content/apply_to_host.asp. After your application is received you will receive a phone call from your local coordinator to schedule an in-home interview with your family and to explain all the requirement of this fun way to build bridges to peace around the world one student at a time and to add a family member for this next school year and beyond from a distance. If you have questions, please call my number below. You can make a difference in the life of a teen from another country and share cultures with them. Thanks so much!
