Subject: {PBJFlorida} An Opportunity to Host an Ambassador: U.S.State Department Merit Scholars from around the world.

Dear Friends,
During the past 7 years, my husband, Ed, and I have hosted three exchange students, and I have placed 15 others with host families in Central Florida. We are now receiving the names of students who are available for the 2013-14 academic year.
The students come on competitive U.S. State Department scholarship programs that were initiated in order to create people-to-people connections with other cultures, religions, and parts of the world about which we often know very little. Each program is competitive with 3 rounds of tests, essays and interviews before the finalists are selected:
FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange) from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia and other countries of the former Soviet Union.
YES (Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange Study) from countries with significant Muslim populations like Kosovo, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Gaza, Pakistan, India, Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia, Ghana, Mozambique, Tunisia, South Africa and many others.
A-SMYLE (America-Serbia-Montenegro Youth Leadership Exchange) from Serbia and Montenegro.
Students come with a stipend, health insurance, good English skills, and motivation to study, learn and be ambassadors for their countries. They need a host family that speaks English in the home, who can provide loving support, a bed, a place to study, 3 meals a day, and transportation to school if necessary. Students are usually enrolled in the host family's local public school. They arrive in August and stay until mid June.
Our students are also required to complete at least 30 hours of volunteer service in the community, to give cultural presentations, and to participate in one enhancement activity each semester planned by their Local Coordinator in addition to maintaining a B average and participating fully in the life of their host family.
YOU CAN HELP BY PASSING THIS INFORMATION TO FAMILIES AND FRIENDS THAT YOU KNOW ARE INTERESTED IN BUILDING GLOBAL AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING! YOU CAN ALSO INVITE ME TO BRING ONE OF MY STUDENTS TO YOUR YOUTH GROUP, SERVICE CLUB, OR OTHER ORGANIZATION TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY. BE AN AMBASSADOR! HOST AN AMBASSADOR!
Blessings,
Sue Peterson
