AFS Intercultural Programs is a nonprofit which specializes in international exchange programs. Next week, there will be international high school students from around the world coming to the Central New York area. These students are not only excited to learn more about America, but are excited to teach others about the homes that they've left.
Unfortunately, we still need host families for some of them. Although many of
these students are here for a year, we're looking for both permanent and
temporary families. The temporary families, or Welcome families, are families
who host for 6-8 weeks while we find a more permanent home for them.
Something happens when you open your door to an exchange student.
Not only does it change the life of the exchange student, but it changes the
life of the family as well. If you want to experience the joy of meeting and
interacting with an exchange student, please feel free to contact me at
1.800.876.2377 ext. 111 or siga@afs.org.
I've attached a bio sheet of just some
of the students we have available. Help us change the lives of these students as
well as change the lives of our future generations.

WBE is a Women Business Enterprise. The WBENC is a
national certification organization, http://www.wbenc.com/ for WBEs.
The group I'm involved with is my regional affiliate office in Miami
for the WBENC. The one in
New York,
is found at
http://www.wpeo.us. Some companies, especially large companies,
have a policy to transact business with a certain percentage of
diversity businesses, certified women-owned and minority businesses.
This is the organization that helps to join the two parties for
"done deals". |
