AFS exchange students in need of placement

AFS students, Tina of Thailand and Rikako of Japan,have been living with their AFS "Welcome Families" in Yellow Springs since their arrival on August 9 and now we need to find them their home for the rest of the school year. Their current hosts welcomed them so that they could arrive in the U.S. on time for the start of the school year, but they are unable to keep them. Keeping the girls in Yellow Springs, where they are members of a sport team, making friends, and learning their way around town is our top priority. We really do not want to have to move them to another town, so I am appealing to you to help me find them a host.

As always, the students have been carefully screened, have full medical insurance, and will be supported by our volunteer staff on a regular basis. We volunteers give support to the host also.

Please contact me if you have interest or know of someone who does, so that I can answer all questions and provide relief to these girls that they will not have to move out of Yellow Springs.

Thank you for your efforts ahead of time.
