Hi Everyone!
This is an announcement to inform you about the fact that there are many students from Switzerland who are hoping to study in the United States, but still have not found host families! The Swiss were open enough to welcome me into their country and have been very kind to me, and I hope for the same thing the other way around.
It you are at all interested in hosting a student for any period of time, please go on the YFU website and consider the possibility. It is as enjoyable, enlightening, and life-changing to host an exchange student as it is to be one!
Follow this link: http://yfuusa.org/host-a-student/meet-the-students.php
...and then select the "Switzerland-German" or "Switzerland-French" option and press the "show me students" button.
As of right now, there are six Swiss German students looking for a host family and one Swiss romande. There is really not a lot of difference between the two options besides the language. Many of the people I know at school are Swiss-German like my host mom, and they are just as awesome!
Even if there is no possibility that you can host a student yourself, be sure and spread the word. It takes more than one person to promote global understanding!
Warm autumn wishes,
Lily
