cultureWhy You Should Travel with KidsSubmitted by marcy on April 21, 2010 - 10:56amThe topic of whether or not young kids should be taken on far-flung travels around the globe can be a controversial one at times. This article from Boots N All raises some great points on the side of why young kids SHOULD travel, and all the ways they benefit from it. I think just taking kids to new cities and opening them up to new experiences both home and abroad can be hugely beneficial. Check out the article and comments afterwards for more on the topic. http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/10-04/why-its-not-selfish-for-parents-... »
Exchange student hosting through EF Foundation for Foreign Study
DescriptionI became a mother to two young ladies last year - when I decided to become a host mother to foreign exchange students. It was a remarkable experience and, even better, they loved Texas! By opening YOUR heart and home, you will help make a dream come true for an EF Foundation high school exchange student. Experiences such as attending homecoming games, school dances, and enjoying Thanksgiving dinner will never be forgotten. In return for room, board, and a caring environment, your family will gain an international friendship and a lifetime of fond memories. Students accepted to the EF Foundation program are good students who speak English (they must keep their grades at a C or greater while they are on the program as well). They are fully insured and bring their own spending money for shopping and extra activities. You can choose a student based on shared interests, which means you pick the right student for your home!

NotesIt really is a wonderful volunteer opportunity. My life is forever changed by it, and I believe everyone should experience it at least once! Give me a call to talk about my experience, and how it might also make a difference in your life. And pass on the message! |
