Time to plan your summer!




Gabriel

I hope your plans will include hosting a French student for 3 weeks. Aged 14 to 19, the French students come to the USA to practice their English and to live the American way for a short time. They want to explore new places, see new things and foremost, make new friends. For 3 weeks, they become a member of your family. They will share chores, hang out with your kids, and follow your rules.

This summer, give your family an opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Ready, set, go!
Along with the Olympics, we are launching another season. Washington is will be host to 25 teenagers, coming from all parts of France. they all share the same goal: perfect their English speaking skills and live the American life for 3 weeks. I already received the profile of a young 16 year old boy. We only have one group in July (for now) and the dates are from July 8th to the 28th. Please spread the word, and I'll be posting profiles at the beginning of March.

 

See Alexandre Jodart with Host Family, Jennie and Horace Johnson at Hersey Park. 

 

                                                       

Jennie is our Maryland Coordinator. Her and her son Horice has been hosting for LEC for two years. Thank you for taking care of a student every year!  





Farewell to our July Group!

July 29th was a sad day for alot of people who participated in hosting one student for three weeks. We all waited untill the Air France ticket counter opened. Here is a picture of the group before they all went through the security.

Four students need homes

I still have four students who need a home for August. I remind you that they all speak English, have their pocket money and are eager to make new friends. They are fully insured for medical emergencies. The host families are compensated with $100/week for hosting. The August group is a "full immersion", so no group activities or classes scheduled. Please ask around and see if we can offer these four kids (3 boys and one girl) with room, board and companionship for 3 weeks.

We had a blast at Kings Domiinion despite the high humidity and the temperature neering the three digits. Spent the afternoon at the waterpark. Left the park at 9:30 pm, just in time to watch the fireworks from the bus.

Arrival at Dulles

 

We had a two hour wait at Dulles until the kids poured out of the double doors separating us from the customs. As they proceeded in our direction, all the host families and kids started to cheer. There was a look of surprise and maybe fear on their faces. What a warm welcome from all. Welcome to America!
