at OWGL show
World Experience is seeking
families in Heppner and surrounding
areas to host exchange students.
Students may be denied this oppor
tunity if enough host families are not
available. A host family develops an
unforgettable and often life-long
relationship with a son or daughter
from another country. This offers a
host family the opportunity to foster
international understanding in a per
sonal way.
All students are screened in their
home countries and are fully in
sured. World Experience provides
24 hour support and a local coor
dinator. Anyone interested in hosting
or requiring more information may
call Nellie Davis at (800)544-8084.
