WATERLOO - World Heritage Student Exchange program, a public benefit organization, is seeking local host families for high school boys and girls from France, Germany, Thailand, Japan, China, South Korea, Russia, Denmark and Italy. Students are already awaiting word on their host family for the 2009-2010 academic school year. Host families provide room, board, and guidance for a teenager living thousands of miles from home. Couples, single parents, and families with and without children in the home are all encouraged to apply.
