Host a Student from the CIS or Yugoslavia

[Sergej Buchholz]

Promote international friendship and understanding by hosting a teenager
from Yugoslavia or the CIS (e.g. Russia, Uzbekistan, Georgia) for a semester
or academic year this fall.

Opening your home and heart to an international exchange student gives your
family the opportunity to learn first-hand about another culture, make a
difference in a young person’s life, and build a lifelong frienship.

Host families come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from single parents and
young childless couples to “empty nesters” and large families with
grandparents. Exchange students are expected to participate fully in their
host family’s life and follow all family rules. They attend local high
school and take part in extracurricular activities together with their
American peers. School and personal expenses are covered by the students
themselves. Host families provide a bed, meals, a place to study, and a
warm, caring environment.

Seattle-based NorthWest Student Exchange (NWSE) has carefully selected for
this experience students from all over the world, including Yugoslavia,
Brazil, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Ecuador, and the countries of the CIS,
such as Russia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. These students are
bright, enthusiastic, and mature young men and women who are eager to learn
about life in America and share the traditions and culture of their home
country.

To inquire about hosting a student starting this fall, please contact Sergej
Buchholz at 206-527-0917 or by e-mail at sergej at nwse.com.

If you are not ready to host a student yourself, you can also help promote
international exchange by referring to us families that are. NWSE will
donate $100 to a school, charity, or organization of your choice for each
family that hosts an NWSE student upon your referral.

NorthWest Student Exchange is a non-profit international educational
exchange organization designated by the U.S. Department of State and listed
with the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET).

We appreciate your help in building true cross-cultural understanding and
friendship.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
