Lea Is Here!

I started a new part time job this year placing exchange students with host families here in Western Kentucky. We went to the airport yesterday to pick up my first placement, the lovely Lea, from Germany. After a long flight with several changovers, and ten minutes in Memphis to run from one side of the airport to the other, Lea arrived tired but happy to be here at 8:30 last night. Here she is (center) with her new host family:

We all wish her a happy experience during her 5 month stay in Calvert City. For those in the area, Lea will be hangin' out with us at our yard sale this Friday, so drop by and welcome her to Kentucky!

Interested in becoming a host family? We have students that come in August and January for 5 months or 10 months. Visit the Center for Cultural Interchange for more information!

Host an exchange student!!

I am exhausted. I spent all weekend in Chicago for a training/ meeting for my new job, and now I am on standby at O'Hare, really hoping I will have a ride when I get to Nashville. But I learned alot abouut this new job, and I am totally stoked! For those of you who don't know, I recently got a job for a non-profit exchange student agency called the Center for Cultural Interchange. The agency has been in the business of helping exchange students find host families both here and abroad since 1985, and has slowly grown to be on of the largest, and most certainly the best, exchange student agency since then. I learned a ton, and am ready to help people open their hearts, families, and lives to an exchange student, and really, a whole new culture! Doesn't that sound fun?
