Do you speak Arabic?
ORGANIZATION: International Focus, Inc.
Please visit the new page to apply.
International Focus is looking for host families in the Raleigh area in which at least one member of the home speaks some Arabic to provide a home away from home for 1 or 2 international students for 2 weeks.
We are facilitating a learning exchange for 14 students (ages 13-18) from Iraq, some of whom do not speak much English. They are studying entrepreneurship. These students have been selected to come here based upon their leadership skills and have been thoroughly vetted by the US State Department.
Host Families would need to provide a place for them to sleep, breakfast each day, some dinners, and transportation to and from a central location for their weekday activities. Host families do not have to have teens living in the home, but if they do, the host siblings are welcome to participate in any or all of the activities of the group.
For more information, please reply to this posting or call Maria Adoskina at 919-782-0552 or MAdoskina@InternationalFocusNC.org.
