International
Organization Seeks
Volunteers In County
CLIFTON — The American In
stitute for Foreign Study Founda
tion is seeking volunteer homes in
Bosque County for its Academic
Year in American international stu
dent program
Students ages 15 to 184 come
from many different counties, in
eluding Brazil. Germany, and Ja
pan They bring with them a desire
to share their language, customs,
and perspective with Bosque
County families. Students also
bring a genuine curiosity about life
in the United States — the nuances
of which many of us take for
granted, said AYA director Terri
Williams.
"The experience can be reward
ing for both the student and the
host family," said Williams ‘All the
family needs to do is provide the
student with meals, a place to sleep
and study, and to treat the student
like one of the family Each student
has full medical insurance and
spending money and is an ambas
sador of his or her country "
For more information about host
ing a student, contact Danielle
Carpmoat 1-800-322 4678. ext 5146.
