Intern Hosting Testimonials
The Reimer family hosting Abdou Mbaye
"Abdou brought the gift of the French language and two different cultures to our family. He has been so kind to our daughters, and our lives have been enriched during his stay." -- Chris Reimer
"When I agreed to host an intern, I thought I'd be helping the school. What I didn't realize was how much an intern would help me and be an asset to our family. It has truly been a pleasure!" -- Dahven Doctor
"The Heaney family has helped me integrate into the American culture. Living with them is like living with my own family. They treat me like a member of the family; they count on me, they invite me to family events and make everything possible so I feel comfortable in their house …..plus, I get to enjoy the delicious food Lisa cooks! Muchas Gracias Lisa, John, Amber, Seamus and Maeve!" -- Alex Torres-Mosquera
"It’s hard to think of one specific story about Jonathan. He is an interesting, insightful person to talk to. His kindness, creativity, and joyful spirit really touched us. He became a such good friend and a brother in just a few short months. Within a couple of weeks he felt like one of the family. We were so sad to say good bye to him and hope to stay in touch for many years to come. He painted his face on the wall in his room along with our faces and a mural of St. Louis so we definitely have something to remember him by. Francis, my son, would climb all over him, showing him much affection. My fondest memories of Jonathan are the times we had biking around St. Louis. Jonathan was a perfect match for our family. I would recommend hosting to anyone. " -- Madeline Buthod
