Summer Host Update for International Exchanges

Submitted by Mary Kay Munson

Two teens each from Costa Rica and Finland will arrive in Kansas June 26.  They have each been matched with a 4-H host family for a 3 ½ week stay departing July 22.  All of the rest of their delegations have been placed in other states.  We are in the process of completing background checks and In Home Interviews for some families.  Announcements of host families and inbounds will be made next month.  Anyone interested in hosting should consider one of the Japanese inbounds, a Kansas 4-H Exchange Program inbound or an IFYE. 

Contact Mary Kay Munson, 4-H Exchange Coordinator at 785-238-3631 or munson@ksbroadband.net with questions or for referral to the Japan Exchange to host a girl or boy 3 ½ weeks July 23 to August 16. For the IFYE Program or Kansas 4-H International Exchange we are planning to host girls from Estonia, Germany, Greece and Thailand and a young man from Germany most of the summer for 2-3 week hosting periods with multiple families beginning June 19.
