"It helped us see our country through someone else's eyes. Learning to communicate with someone of a different culture and language: a very rewarding experience for us all."

"He adjusted very well.  So well we felt him to be our 'son' and 'brother'. He was willing to participate in everything we did and to try everything that was put on the table. It was obvious that he was here to learn all he could."

                  Mr. & Mrs. Ferden
                     Atlanta, GA

"We learned from him and I do think he from us. We noticed his English had improved when he left, and Ricky's French got better."

            Mr. and Mrs. Rodrick
                       Tampa, FL

"We learned about another country, it's cultures, people and lifestyles despite the "initial" language differences- we know very few French words! And as we are normally a very home oriented family, we enjoyed an opportunity to show Pascale around our beautiful state of VA, DC, MD meanwhile learning more about our own country."

              Mr. and Mrs. Estes
               Round Hill, VA

"We experienced a different culture through Bruno. The children asked a thousand questions. They noticed differences; ic, the way he set the table, obviously language, etc. It gave them the opportunity to taste France right here at home, when France is mentioned on T.V. or elsewhere our youngest says, 'That's where Bruno lives, he's my big brother'."
