High school students from more than 55 nations are packed and ready to begin a 5-10 month academic program in the the United States. They will be arriving in major cities for a transitional orientation before meeting their new host families.
Many of them have been matched with safe, loving, stable host families but we still have several who have not been so fortunate.
If you would like to help make it possible for a foreign high school student to spend an academic school year in your New Mexico community, please take the time to contact me today at 505-603-6077. If you are not able to welcome or host a student then maybe you know someone who might be perfect for this rewarding role.
You might ask, "What is a perfect host family?" Thanks for asking. A host family may be a traditional mom, dad, three kids, and a dog. A host family in a progressive neighborhood like Santa Fe may just be a single person, a retired couple, two adults who live together in a loving relationship. At my intake meeting with you, I will mostly be looking for a safe, loving, stable home with a comfortable bedroom (may be shared with same sex and similar age) and study area for your student. As host, you will be sure to make this young ambassador feel like he or she is part of a family and community.
Again, please call 505-603-6077 or email me at joanlucci@gmail.com. I would be happy to send you a copy of my recent newsletter that features profiles of the students that we still need to place in homes.
