Student exchange group seeks host homes here ! Imagine being able to absorb the culture of a foreign country for a whole year without ever having to leave home. That’s exactly what the ASSE Student Exchange Pro- gram offers local families who want to host an enthusiastic teen- ager from abroad. Having a European or Australian youngster becomes part of the family for an academic year gives everyone in the house the opportun- ity to learn more about themselves and the world they live in. ASSE teenagers are well- screened students from Europe, Australia and all points in between. They're motivated 15-18 year olds who want to become part of an American household, which means they pitch in on everything from chores to family "discussions. They’re also enthusiastic about sharing the culture and customs of their own homeland. And although most ASSE kids are fluent in English, they love to help teach their own language to their Ameri- can family. Host families also gain a new perspective on their own way of life. Parents and kids alike come to appreciate lots of things they’ve probably taken for granted. Like all the TV channels they have to choose form (not to mention MTV) plus all the great things to buy in our consumer wonderland. The ASSE exchange program only lasts ten months but host families discover the special rela- tionship they build go on forever. “It was like having another son. A son, plus a whole new family we get to visit when we go to France.” (Mary Smith, Phoenix, Arizona). “From our one ASSE exchange student we got a whole new family overseas.”’ (Kim Kirkaby, New Orleans, Louisiana). And it’s reassuring to know thee : the ASSE Program is affiliated with the most esteemed govern- ment education departments in the world; the National Swedish and Finnish Departments of Education and the Australian and New Zea- land Departments of Education have approved the ASSE Peogram, and the United States Information Agency has officially designated ASSE as an exchange visitor pro- gram. If you want to give your family a foreign accent for a year and even a lifetime, contact ASSE’% local Representative: Cindy ants Donald Jones, (717) 675-0387. 44.1 or savings account.
