Host A Foreign Exchange Student

The Dorchester Times has been asked to encourage our readers to consider hosting a foreign exchange student this school year.

Donna Scholl, an International Exchange Coordinator with EF Foundation for Foreign Studies, tells the Times that anyone who is interested in hosting a foreign exchange for the 2012-13 school year in the Dorchester school district may contact her at donna_scholl@windstream.net.  Or call her at (402) 947-1507.  

"Let me know what your family interests are and I would be more than happy to find 'your perfect' student -- and family’s lifetime friend," Scholl said.

All the host family needs to supply are: 1.) room and board; 2.) meals but if student eats at school then they pay for their lunch; 3.) love.  Student provides his/her own spending money.

Matt and Donna Hansen hosted two young men last year and had a great year, according to Scholl.  She said the Hansens will gladly share their experience to anyone who is interested in hosting an exchange student. DPS Superintendent Mitch Kubicek would like to see 2-3 students placed in the Dorchester school district.
