Good Afternoon,
In our ever increasing Global Society, Youth for Understanding-USA continues striving to increase understanding, teach families and teens to value differences and provide opportunities for families to experience the world right in their own homes.
As we continue our efforts to place some 60+ Exchange Students in the Atlanta area for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year; We are asking all our friends and colleagues to help us get the word out about a very special group of students from China. These students are all scheduled to arrive this August 2009 - but before we can finalize their arrival travel, we must have host families lined up to welcome them.
Below are brief profiles on 10 Chinese students who are currently waiting in que for host families - Families can opt to host for one-semester or for the full academic year. Either way, you'd be providing these kids the opportunity of a lifetime.
You can help by:
- Signing on to host a student at www.yfu-usa.org and completing the host family application.
- Forwarding this email on to your own colleagues, family, friends, membership groups, etc
- Reading through these short profiles and thinking of any special interest group that we might contact based upon the students interest.
- Signing on as a volunteer to provide support to any one of these students once they arrive - visit our website www.yfu-usa.org to complete the volunteer application
- Contact me directly with your thoughts and ideas on how we might work together collaboratively in an effort to identify hosting homes for these students.
On behalf of these student and all of YFU - thanks so much for your continued support and I am anxiously waiting to hear from you!!!!!
