And My World....Host Families Sought for One-Month Summer Japanese Exchange

Local Families are needed to host Japanese exchange students, ages 12 to 16, for four weeks this summer as part of an exchange program sponsored by 4-H. The Japanese students will stay with their American host families from July 22 to August 18, 2012. The program is open to families with children close in age to the Japanese participants. Families without children in the age range will be considered as hosts for adult chaperons from Japan. You don't have to be a 4-H member to host; you just need a willingness to share your home and world.
