Host Families Needed

Host Families Needed

Friendly Exchange: a cultural family program dedicated to promoting peace and understanding between families in Guatemala and Minnesota.

The program is an 11 week program starting in late September and ending in mid December. The Guatemala exchange students are ages 11-16 and attend school with their host siblings. We have found that the program brings a bonding to the whole class as well. Students work together to provide the exchange student with a wonderful experience. The program strives to match students with similar interests. Please respond ASAP, students arrive September 20th.

If interested please contact Friendly Exchange DelegateHeidi Preslicka phone 612-875-6630 email heidi@preslickastudio.com.
