Can’t find time or money to travel? Enjoy exposure to different cultures? Looking for a low-cost project or experience in which the whole family can participate and grow together? The Iowa 4-H World Citizenship Program allows families the benefits of travel without leaving home by hosting an exchange delegate from Japan this summer July 27-August 21, 2008.
Being a 4-H International host family is easy, fun, rewarding and educational. Just welcome the delegate into your home and treat him or her like one of the family. The delegate will want to join in everyday activities, help with chores and otherwise fit in as a brother, sister, son or daughter. No special activities need to be planned, although many families and visitors enjoy the opportunity to take occasional sightseeing trips to local attractions and landmarks during the visit. Host families appreciate the chance to develop friendships which reach around the world. They find that the delegate teaches them not only to understand other ways of life, but to understand and appreciate their own way of life, as well.
Apply now to participate in this 4-H World Citizenship Program. The application will need to be printed out to write or type in the area.
