Welcome to LEC Washington

LEC (Loisirs Culturels a l'Etranger) is a travel organization headquartered in Paris. Since 1972, LEC has arranged visits for French students to American homes. Every year, nearly 250 students count on families like yours to open their home and their hearts for three weeks in the summer months. These French ambassadors are here to improve their English skills, to learn about the American culture and create friendships that may last a lifetime.







Please subscribe to this blog, and get updated information on new arrivals, activities planned (for Discovery) and see the students disappear as host families make their selection). Here today, gone tomorrow!

HELP, time is running out!

HELP!

Time is running out! If you can help, or know someone who can, please let them know that we're are desperate for host families, specially for July. We're only a couple of weeks from the arrival, and I still have a lot of students who need homes.

Michelle Baker from the Gainesville Times wrote a nice article (read it here) and it was published, last Thursday (06/07/12) and I'm still waiting for calls! Please, spread the word, these kids already have their tickets and will not be able to come and realize their dreams if people don't step up! Please, pleease help if you can. It's only three weeks in your summer; but it means years of preparation for the French student.
