Homes needed for exchange students

Five Brazilian teenagers need host families this year while they

attend Newport-Mesa high schools.

The five 17-year-old boys will study English and learn about American

culture through an exchange program designed to shape future leaders.

Families are asked to host the students for one to two semesters by

providing a bed, meals and a chance to share in the Amebican experience.

Students are required to obey house rules and participate in family

functions, including chores and church.

The students have their own health insurance and spending money. For more

information, call OCEAN, the Organization for Cultural Exchange Among

Nations at 1-800-286-2326 or coordinator Ralph Short at (949) 675-0423.
