The Stoner household has been so excited and busy cleaning our house for our new exchange student's arrival tonight that I almost forgot to post our appreciation for the special Fathers in our lives. From our family to yours... Happy Father's Day!!

Have you ever wanted to visit Italy? Are you in love with Italian cuisine? Is the Italian culture something that you might be eager to learn more about?

Instead of trying desperately to scrimp and save for those plane ticket, consider hosting an exchange student from Italy! Sofia is a young, eager lady who is in 11th grade and would desperately love to attend an American high school. She loves to travel, ski, and acting/ theater. Would you be able to host Sofia?

Send me a message for more information!!!

What a wonderful surprise to find this on my messenger!! 2 of my previous exchange students (Ukraine & Austria) finally bumped into each other and sent me this beautiful video!!

Have you thought about what it would be like to share your home and culture with a teen from another country? I'm here to tell you it's one of the most rewarding experiences and I can't easily for our student to get here this fall for the new school year!!

If you're interested, REACH OUT and let me know and I can help you get the process started and the perfect student chosen for your home and family! Students are entering our database now for placement for the next school year.

What are YOUR summer plans? It may only be January, but we're all thinking about it! Whether your going to the beach, traveling, volunteering, catching up on movies, visiting museums, or just hanging out, it's still ALL AMERICAN fun! So why not consider sharing these moments with interested teens from other countries?? We have some amazing kids who have already applied to simply spend a few weeks with a family. So basically, if you have plans, or if you don't, these kids would love to just be with an American family doing American things. If you are interested, please write/call me or visit www.tfaforms.com/268030 to apply! *PLEASE SHARE & LIKE MY PAGE*

Meet OTAVIO:
He is from Brazil and is 15 going into the 10th grade. His passions are going for walks, reading, cycling and enjoying games & movies. He likes to balance his extracurricular activities between keeping healthy and expanding his mind while spending time with family and friends. He is a sweet kid who does well in and out of school. He is hoping to find an American family to be a part of for the second semester of school. This only gives him a few more months to enjoy life here in the states, so take the time to open your home and heart to this kid today! He's waiting for the word!

Meet JAKAB:
He is from Hungary and is 16 and currently in the 9th grade. He loves to fish with his father, go see movies with his mom, and play sports with is friends (esp. basketball & football), but also loves to have down time just hanging out. He is really interested in coming to America and learning our culture. He believes in honesty and lasting friendships. Jakab would be here for only this 2nd semester and time is running short on the time he can spend here. Would you be willing to open your heart & home for a few months for Jakab?

I am very excited about this upcoming year! Looking on the CCI Greenheart database and seeing so much promise in the young ladies and gentlemen... I can't help but be excited to find these kids great host families. If you have received friend requests from or received information in a message, it is in my pursuit to make sure these kids have the very best families/homes and opportunities for this upcoming year. Thank you to all my friends who are passing along information and helping in every way they can! I truly appreciate your kindness!

Meet Gabriel: He is a very active 16 year old from Brazil. He enjoys going to the gym and skateboarding with friends, but he also likes to watch movies and play video games. He is the middle brother of three, so he is a very easy going person, optimistic and eager to learn and share. Think that Gabriel would light up your home with excitement, energy & optimism? Just take a few minutes to fill out a host inquiry form to get more information on how!

Meet Rosemaryn: She is a beautiful young lady of 15 years from the Netherlands. Dutch is her native tongue but she is also learning German! She usually works after school at the supermarket or babysitting and she really loves kids. She is a very creative person who loves music, experimenting with make-up, going to plays with her parents and coordinating clothing styles. She is afraid of reptilian pets and big dogs. She looks forward to exploring a new culture, making new friends, and hopefully having siblings! Is your family interested in making Rosemaryn a member this upcoming school year?

Meet Nattadon: He is 14, from Thailand, and going into the 9th grade. He enjoys traveling with his family and can't wait to see some sites here in the States. He plays basketball, soccer and ice skates when he can. He even dabbles in magic because he has to be more resourceful and focus more on speed and concentration. Nattadon is excited to be a part of this program and is anxiously awaiting a response on his new host family. Could you be the family for him? If interested in learning more on hosting him, write me privately or fill out an application at the link provided:

Meet Claudia: She is a 14 year old girl from SPAIN going into the 9th grade. Her interests are skiing, reading & spending time with friends and family. She likes to be around kids so a family with children would be ideal. She is Catholic and would like to attend church with her host family. Does your family have the desire to host Claudia, learn about her culture and share yours with her? If so, message me or fill out a host family application at:

!! ATTENTION !! I am looking to BUILD MY TEAM of Local Coordinators for CCI (Center for Cultural Interchange) where we place exchange students with host families in our local communities.

In short, our organization accepts applications from all around the world from teenagers who would like to live in our country and experience our culture for an entire school year or just a semester. At this time, we already have students on the database and waiting to be placed. Your job would be to help me find host families interested in hosting. I will do quite a bit of the leg work for you and help you learn the ins and outs of everything. Moreover, I am in need of a few extra people on deck for help at fairs, markets, and anywhere else I am able to set up a table and share information with the community, though a lot of our families come from word of mouth or even within our friends and families.

As compensation, each student you place will earn you $1000 for the school year or $800 for a semester. Also, students placed earn you points to go towards yearly conferences, and we will be going to Madrid, Spain next February! Mileage, supplies, and anything else you spend can be written off.

If you are really interested, please take a few moments to read more on our page and fill out an application! I hope to have you as one on my team!
