We had such a wonderful experience with our host student – we felt like we were saying good-bye to one of our own children. I never thought we would bond with someone so deeply as we did with Amaia. By the end of her stay, she was one of the family in every way…Thank you to your organization for making that possible. Any questions we had were answered promptly and any concerns we had were addressed to our extreme satisfaction.

This experience helped our 16 year old daughter learn to be a good host(ess). It was all around an excellent experience. We all had great fun!
