Title: Opportunity To Host Chinese Students in Indianapolis
Body:
Program of Academic Exchange will be placing international students between the ages of 15-18 and representing over 70 countries, including China at several Indianapolis high schools for the 2014-15 school year. In order for these placements to occur, we need to find families willing to host them in their home. Hosting one of these students is a great opportunity to experience a foreign culture without ever leaving your home. You'll have a chance to discover different holidays, other ways of thinking about the day's news, learn new languages, and taste dishes from another country. Many of these students go on to become leaders in their home countries with current alumni representing 44 Nobel Laureates and over 270 Heads of State. If your family is interested in hosting, please contact Lamese Hasan at 317-625-0838 or lameseh@gmail.com for more information.
