> Susanne  Guthrie, regional director for EF Foundation, called me  
> asking if anyone in the orienteering community would like to host a  
> foreign exchange student from Finland for the 2004-2005 school year.   
> He will be in 11th grade and orienteers a few times a week at home.   
> He is looking for a family in North Carolina.

> EF Foundation is a non-profit organization that places foreign  
> exchange students in host families in the USA.  The students are  
> between the ages of 15-18 and come to the U. S. for an academic year  
> or semester. Students enter the country on a J-1 cultural exchange  
> visa, live with volunteer host families and attend a local high  
> school.
>    The students undergo an extensive application and screening  
> process. Selection is based on maturity, adaptability and academic  
> motivation.  All students speak English and must follow  EF Foundation  
> rules and regulations for the duration of the program.  All students  
> carry full health, liability and property insurance. Students also  
> bring their own spending money for additional items such as clothing  
> and entertainment.
>     The host family provides room, board and a loving environment for  
> the student. Prospective families are required to complete an  
> application and supply references. They are interviewed in their homes  
> by the local EF Foundation International Exchange Coordinator.
>  The local IEC will show the family student applications and help them  
> choose a student based on shared interest and activities.  The IEC  
> will also contact the student at least once a month and schedule some  
> activities for the student during the year. EF Foundation also has a  
> 24-hour toll-free line 1-800-44-SHARE should the family or student  
> have any questions.
>  You can find out more information at www.effoundation.org  www.ef.com
