We are seeking a host family for 4-5 months starting in January for Kareem R. from Palestine. \u00c2\u00a0He is at Steller through\u00c2\u00a0the PAX exchange program, funded by the US State Department, to allow kids from Muslim countries to experience life in America. He is a smart and polite and has adjusted amazingly well to life in Alaska. His English is excellent, \u00c2\u00a0he plays soccer and wants to try everything he can \u00c2\u00a0during his stay here.\u00c2\u00a0He plays with the West Tennis team and wants to ski on the ski team. We have committed to host him through mid January and for the second half of his stay would be flexible in hosting him when his new family is vacationing or otherwise in need of help. Kareem is the seventh student we have hosted and have had a good experience each time. If you have younger kids in the house the students are like big brothers and sisters. \u00c2\u00a0Our daughter, Kaylin, was an exchange student two years ago and our son, Noah, will be one next year as well.<\/p>\n
It is a way to let your family experience the world without leaving your home.\u00c2\u00a0Contact Noah Z. at Steller or Rick and Teresa Zimmer at 278-2033.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
