Gayle writes: More than a dozen years ago, at age 47, I became a ‘parent’ for the first time! I had agreed to host an AFS exchange student, a girl from Bolivia, for the school year. Since then I have happily been ‘mom’ to 5 others, as well as a liaison, driver, chaperone, etc for many others every year since. I got ‘hooked’ on these amazing kids who come here or go abroad. It is such a joy and so exciting to see them learn, grow, discover and enjoy our little corner of the world!
I encourage anyone with an interest helping find host families or volunteering to check out the following sites:
