{PBJFlorida} Two fabulous high-school age girls need host families for 2012-13 academic year.

Dear Friends on PBJ!

Salma from Morocco enjoys drama and singing in choir.  She is an only child and is thrilled to be a finalist in the YES program of the U.S. State Dept.  so that she can experience another culture--and be part of an American family.  Eventually she would like to study medicine and become a doctor--although she is also interested in architecture.  In addition to Arabic and English, Salma is also fluent in French having studied languages since 2nd grade.  Her father teaches Arabic and her mother is a homemaker.  Please take a look at her profile below and give me a call if you would like to know more about hosting.

Lusine from Armenia is a singer.  She writes music and belongs to a band that has won some contests in her hometown.  In addition to music, Lucy is interested in becoming a constitutional lawyer.  In the past few years she has had an opportunity to spend short periods of time away from home.  Sports are also a favorite as she swims and plays tennis.  Lucy presents herself as a positive person, who overcomes difficult or challenging situations through positive thoughts and energy.  She is a finalist on the U.S. State Dept Merit Scholarship FLEX Program bringing students from countries of the former Soviet Union to the U.S. each year. 

The students receive a monthly stipend, have addition funds to meet school expenses, health insurance, and bring enthusiasm and a desire to be an ambassador.  Host families can be any size or age--with or without children.  The students attend the local public high school.  As a Local Coordinator for the past 4 years, and a host parent for 3 different students, I am happy to talk with you more about hosting.

Blessings,
Sue
