Final plea for Morrow County
area host families
Foreign high school
students are scheduled to
arrive soon for academic
semester and year program
h o m estay s
and
the
sponsoring o rg an izatio n
needs a few more local host
families. The students are
anxiously awaiting news of
th eir new fam ilies. The
response this year from
volunteers has not been what
the o rg a n iz atio n
had
expected, and this is the final
push for the chance of these
young ambassadors to fulfdl
their life-long dreams.
According to Pacific
In te rc u ltu ra l E xchange
(P.I.E.) Executive Director,
John Doty, the students are
all between the ages of 15
and 18 years, are English-
speaking, have their own
spending m oney, carry
accid en t
and
health
insurance, and are anxious to
share
th e ir
cu ltu ra l
experiences with their new
American families. P.I.E.
currently has programs to
match almost every family’s
needs, ranging in length from
a semester to a full academic
year, where the students
attend local high schools.
P.I.E.
area
re p re se n ta tiv e s
m atch
students with host families
by finding common interests
and lifestyles through an
informal in-home meeting.
Prospective host families are
able to review stu d en t
applications and select the
perfect match. As there are
no “typical” host families,
P.I.E. can fit a student into
ju st about any situation,
whether it is a single parent,
a childless couple, a retired
couple or a large family.
Families who host
for P.I.E. are also eligible to
claim a $50 per m onth
ch aritab le c o n trib u tio n
deduction on their itemized
tax returns for each month
they host a sp o n so red
student.
For the upcom ing
programs, P.I.E. has students
from Germany, the Former
Soviet Union, Venezuela,
A rg en tin a,
B razil,
M acedonia,
H ungary,
Korea, Mexico, Australia,
Yugoslavia, China, and many
other countries. P.I.E. is also
participating in two special
government-funded
program s
to
bring
scholarship students from
the N ew ly In d ep en d en t
States of the former Soviet
U nion
as
w ell
as
p redo m in an tly Islam ic
countries such as Yemen,
Syria, Jordan, M orocco,
Kuwait, Iraq and Qatar to
the United States. P.I.E. is a
n o n -p ro fit ed u catio n al
o rg a n iz atio n that has
sponsored more than 25,000
students from 45 countries
since its founding in 1975.
The
o rg an izatio n
is
designated by the United
States Department of State
and is listed by the Council
on
S tan d ard s
for
International Educational
Travel (CSIET), certifying
that the o rg an izatio n
complies with the standards
set forth in C S IE T ’s
Standards for International
E d u catio n al
Travel
Programs.
Doty en co u rag es
fa m ilies to co n tact the
program immediately, as it
will allow the proper time for
the students and hosts to get
to know one another before
they actually meet for the
first time.
M orrow C ounty
area families interested in
learning more about student
exchange or arranging for a
meeting with a community
