AFS International-
Intercultural Programs is
offering the . families of
the Back Mountain the
opportunity to meet the
world face to face.
Families are being
sought by the Dallas AF'S
Chapter to host foreign
students for the coming
school year. Each visiting
student is between the
ages of 16 and 19 and lives
as a member of a family,
while attending classes at
Dallas High School. The
Dallas Chapter hopes to
host three or four students
this year.
“The AFS program is
extremely rewarding to
the host family as well as
beneficial to the student,”
Mrs. Jackie Sheehan
says. ‘Families learn and
grow together by acquir-
ing new perspectives
about another culture.”
A major quality desired
in a host famly is an open-
ness to new ideas. Al-
though = many host
high school age, families
with young children or no
children are eligible to
host and are encouraged
to apply. Host families
are not asked to make
special expenditures for
their AFS student, but
they do pay food costs and
incidental expenses which
they would for any child.
Host families may take a
monthly tax deduction of
$50 in accordance with
provisions made by the
U.S. Internal Revenue
Service.
“More important than
the financial contribution
a family makes is the
interest and attention
they provide the AFS
student, which is usually
more than compensated
by the rewards they gain
in return,” Mrs. Sheehan
stressed.
The candidates who
apply for a year stay in
the U.S. are carefully
screened through their
own national offices and
the international head-
quarters of AF'S located in
New York City. There are
currently over 3,300
students from 57 nations
living and studying in
American - communities
across the country.
Said one host mother,
“AFS proves that it is .
easy to forget national
barriers and find base for
growth and under-
standing; we discovered
much about human
nature in general and our
children were awakened
to an interest in the world
and the people living in
it.? :
Families interested in
participating in the AFS
experience can call Mrs.
Jackie Sheehan, Over-
brook Rd., Dallas at 675-
