World Heritage Student Exchange program, a public benefit organization, is seeking Tomball and Magnolia host families for high school boys and girls from France, Germany, Thailand, Japan, China, South Korea, Russia, Denmark and Italy.
Students are already awaiting word on their host family for the 2009-2010 academic school year. Host families provide room, board and guidance for a teenager living thousands of miles from home. Couples, single parents and families with and without children in the home are all encouraged to apply.
The exchange students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins fall 2009. Each World Heritage student is fully insured, brings his/her own personal spending money and expects to bear his/her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles.
World Heritage (formerly Spanish Heritage) is a nonprofit, tax exempt, public benefit organization. World Heritage is officially designated as an exchange visitor program by the United States Department of State and is fully listed with the Council of Standards on International Educational Travel (CSIET).
