| Teenagers around the world have an "American
Dream"
 |
Experiencing
Halloween for the first time! |
Their dream is to spend an academic year or semester experiencing
the simple, everyday things that we, as Americans, take for granted.
A boy in Germany is eager to go to an American baseball game. A
girl from Poland dreams of dressing up and going to the prom. A
Brazilian girl has heard about Halloween and wants to carve her
first pumpkin. A girl from South Africa would like to see her first
snowfall.
You can make one of these dreams come true. At the same time, you
and your family will benefit from welcoming one of these young people
into your home:
- You will build memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
- You will learn about another country, its customs, language
and culture.
- You can make a difference. You can give that young person the
chance to see how Americans live and work and to understand our customs
and values.
- You new "son" or "daughter" will return
to his or her country full of stories about the United States.
All because one special family – your family – shared your home
and lives.
