Host a student from Spain!
Dear Parents,
I know that this time of year can be crazy with busy plans for holiday gatherings and gift giving. As kids get older, it can be hard to find the right gifts for them, so I am passing along this idea from Language & Friendship, the program I work with to help arrange 4-week hosting opportunities in the summer with students from France, Spain and Switzerland. If your family would like to welcome a visitor into your home and hearts and include them in your daily summer schedule, now is the time to start planning -what a wonderful idea as a GIFT for your child! There will be a French group in our area for a 4-week visit (June 11-July 11, 2014), and a Spanish group (June 29-July 25, 2014) - boys and girls, ages 14-17. You can find more information about the program on the L&F website: http://www.languageandfriendship.com/hosting/
For this particular GIFT idea, you would need to complete your online application by Dec 15. After you complete the application, L&F will mail you a customized gift letter (see sample below) in a pretty envelope to put in a stocking or set under a tree. These will be mailed by Dec 20th.
To get started, go to: http://www.languageandfriendship.com/register/hosting-registration/
ENTER GroupID: GIFT2013
If you want to give a GIFT that will hold their attention longer than the time it takes to get to the next present, this is a great option! Not to mention the impact it can have on their language skills and their appreciation for their community and culture!
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail my contact person at L&F, Barbara Keenan ([email protected]).
I hope you will consider this wonderful opportunity!
