6 More Local Families Needed!

6 more local families are needed to welcome one of the Italian high school teens coming to Somers area for 3 weeks mid July as part of the high school cultural program between NY and Italy! The 18  students will live with our local families to experience the daily life of the American people. During the weekdays, they will have a rich enhancement program with English classes at the high school, day trips to NYC for museums and local attractions. Welcome one of these deserving boys and girls and get a new son or daughter for life. Families are only asked to provide a bed (a room can be shared with a host sibling) and meals at home.

Explore magical Italy without leaving your home by interacting with your student, learning Italian and discovering the beautiful culture. Your family will get a friend for life that you could visit. In return, the Italian students prepare delicious
recipes to share with their hosts and will be happy to treat you to some amazing authentic dishes! Only 6 students left out of 18!

Visit www.wep-usa.org for more information and fill out a host family application form if interested. For more questions, email Rachel Greenburg at info@wep-usa.org
