Testimonials from hosts
"By the end of the summer, we hosted for 11 weeks back-to-back and although it was tiring at times, it was really rewarding. Some of the students sent us Christmas cards. We’ve put the money we earned towards a holiday and some garden toys for the boys - with a young family any extra money always comes in handy!" "We had a great time with Mathais who left today. He hardly spoke a word of English on arrival but he has made great strides forward and worked hard doing his homework. We had lots of laughs and after he left I found a row of chocolate ladybirds in his room. Last night he gave me flowers and Royston 2 bottles of wine - most kind. He called a shoe horn a shoe spoon which seemed to make sense."
Other homestay comments from 2011"The students were excellent - they really brightened up the home and discussing the different cultures was very informative. There are many that will stay in our memory."
"Enjoyable experiences last year included taking two German music students to a concert of instrumental service students which they really loved. The students wrote to us and sent presents for everyone after they got home."
"It was great to hear them all chatting in the lounge about their experiences together and how much they were loving the whole experience."
"Really good to see them learning and interacting with our children."
