Los Estudiantes Visitantes de México Necesitan quien los Hospede

Students Visiting from Mexico Need Hosts PENSACOLA—Fifteen high students from Mexico are coming to northwest Florida again this summer for a leadership program. Their exchange is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Mexican government, and the private sector. The Gulf Coast Diplomacy Council is looking for families to host these teens from July 18 – 30, 2016. Hosting allows you to make friends from all over, experience different and exciting cultures, and hear first-hand what is happening around the globe. (Your kids can practice Spanish too!!!) Visitors, in turn, take a true perspective of the United States back to Mexico with fond memories of generous and hospitable Floridians. The Diplomacy Council will keep students occupied during work hours and some evenings. If you are able to drive them to and from a pick-up location in downtown Pensacola or Gulf Breeze, that's appreciated! The organization can make other arrangements if this is inconvenient for your family. They ask that you provide a safe environment, a bed, and some meals. If you have a teenager who wants to participate in activities with us, that's great, but you do not have to have a child in the home in order to host. The students all speak English and are leaders in their communities. If you are interested in learning more, please contact the Gulf Coast Diplomacy Council at 850-595-0817. |
