Hi there:
I was writing to inquire if anyone from your FCC Chapter would consider hosting a Chinese exchange student for the 2013-2014 school year. Our organization, Forte International Exchange Association (FIEA) is a non-profit, that is designated by the State Department to be engaged in student exchange programs.
FIEA students come to study abroad in the U.S. for one academic year (10 months). Host families are expected to provide a loving and caring environment, while providing support, guidance and love to the student. Families who have finished hosting always rave about what a rewarding experience it has been for everyone in the family. From the lasting bonds that have formed to experiencing another country's culture in your own home, most families always gain cultural awareness from their exchange student.
In the past, families with adopted children from China, have hosted FIEA exchange students. By hosting a Chinese student, you are able to immerse your child with the culture and language of their native country. Exchange students are always eager to share their culture and customs with their host families.
If you know of a family who would be interested in hosting, please forward them this e-mail. Hosting a Chinese student would be a great experience for families to get to know first hand, the culture of China.
For more information and to view our students' profiles, please feel free to visit our website: www.forteexchange.org
