HOST A SPANISH TEEN
Making your summer plans? Why not include a fabulous student from Spain in your family´s activities? We urgently need host families for several Spanish teens, ages 15-17, who will be in New England from June 25 to July 20, just 3 1/2 weeks. The students are all from the Basque region of Spain and are at an intermediate English level. Host families provide a warm and safe home environment for the student, as well as meals and transportation to a meeting spot on the days there are field trips (Boston and Six Flags - host families are invited to come along). It's fine for a student to share a room with a host sibling, and the students have their own spending money, medical insurance, and phone cards.
If your family could host for some or all of the period June 25 - July 20, please call Ann Newsmith at 802-257-4710 or email exchangeVT@gmail.com. Host families are also needed for exchange students who will be attending BUHS and other area schools this fall.
