Hosting an International Exchange Student is such a greatexperienceforallofthoseinvolved.Itleadstoabetterunderstandingbetweenindividualsofothercultures,hopefullybranchingitswayouttoamorepeacefulglobalsociety.Butdon’tjusttakemywordabout it, readaboutNelva’sexperienceandunderstandingof theexchangeprogram.

"I’m so lucky to have been placed with a great host family in Texas! The best part is when we share each other’s cultures and have a lot of quality time together. I’m blessed to have chance to study in American High School. Being an exchange student is hard. For the first couple days it was hard because I didn’t know anybody, the moving class system is new for me and sometimes it’s hard to understand what they say. But America is really friendly and handy so I got a lot of help from them. From the exchange program, people can really get to know each other, people start to respect each other and we can start a new chapter to have a better world."
