We know that we will be hosting 21 students in our Southern California Mountains and Deserts area next year. So far, we have selected students that come from Italy, Thailand, Peru, Switzerland, Indonesia, Denmark, Japan, Germany, Russia and Norway. These are some of the best kids that are coming to the United States, with a diversity of interests- music, sports, dance, drama, and travel. One thing they all share is an openness to new people and cultures. They all deserve the opportunity only we can give them to experience our wonderful country, the unique place we live, and a family that will “open their homes and hearts” to them.
