We have been fortunate to have had two wonderful international students as our volunteers in July, David from Liverpool and Jane from Shanghai, China. And now we have a third one, Eilian also from China. Cultural Homestay International, is the sponsoring nonprofit that brings these young people to the U.S. to spend one month with an American family and volunteer at a local business.

Usually, there is a celebration of all the volunteers, host families, and businesses each month that the volunteers are in America. However, this time due to some scheduling issues, the Party was not held in July and both David and Jane were already home when we got together at the beautiful Girls and Boys Club’s Camp Tasker in Newton, NH.
