Japanese homestay program coming to West Seattle
Thu, 03/25/2010
There is a new Japanese cultural exchange program coming to West Seattle.
Homestay programs allow international teens to experience American culture firsthand, while also providing a unique and up-close cultural experience for American families and broadening children’s perspectives on the world.
American kids get to experience everyday things through the eyes of a foreign student, plus learn new skills (such as origami and Japanese cooking).
There will be 15 Japanese girls (ages 15 to 17) here from July 21st to August 10th. The girls will be in classes and on field trips most weekdays. Families aren’t required to entertain—just share their lives. The girls don’t even require their own room if there is a daughter who is willing to share hers.
