Does your family have room for one or two more members? Do you need a jogging partner, a language coach, an additional basketball player or an artist, or perhaps an extra hand repairing household appliances? Have you got the welcoming spirit of hospitality to take a 15-18 year old foreigner into your home and treat him or her as you would your own child for one or two semesters?
We will be getting profiles of up to 60 high school exchange students (20 so far) to place in Tennessee for the 2008-09 school year. These students come from over 50 nations, icluding such diverse places as Vietnam and Brazil, and from a variety of backgrounds and interests. Many are athletes, cooks, musicians, etc. All are good students.
We need your help to bring them here, and we need to get cracking on it now. The later it gets, the more difficult it is to find schools with available room for them. All public schools and some private schools have a limit (usually 5, sometimes less) to the number of exchange students they can accept. Also, if you start the process now, you will have months of direct corespondence to pave the way before your student arrives.

He says, "Having lived in America for 2 years from 19980 to 2000, the Americans, their way of life, their friendliness, the nature, for example Blue Ridge Mountains and Sequoia National Park have always impressed me. Being an exchange student will help me to make my English even better an I hope to gain a lot of positive experiences for my future life."
