Area families sought to host Japanese youth
Hardin County families will have the opportunity to welcome a young person from Japan into their home for one month this summer. Seventy Japanese youth will travel to Ohio through the International Exchange program offered by the Ohio 4-H International Exchange Program.
Families must have a child of the same gender and approximate age of the Japanese youth. The Japanese youth are ages 12 to 18. A family does not have to belong to 4-H to participate in this exchange.
Host families provide the exchangees with room and board and a chance to experience daily life in America. Families are urged not to alter their daily routines during their visitor’s stay. Exchangees provide their own spending money and the sponsoring organization furnishes comprehensive medical insurance.
The Japanese youth are members of Labo, an organization that promotes the study of English culture and language.
