Students Exchange

Youth Student Exchange

My name is Jayne Allen and I live in the area and am the area representative for a non-profit organization called CCI (www.cci-exchange.com) that oversees a program sponsored by the Department of State. The program is called the Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) and it brings students from predominately Muslims countries to the USA to attend a local high school for a year.
We are seeking both welcome homes (for just a few weeks) or permanent host families for the school year.
This is an elite program which began with some of the former Soviet states in 1992 after the end of the cold war. After its success, a second program was started in 2002 with the same goal and with a focus on countries in North Africa and the Middle East. Our government pays for them to be in the program and they are monitored by the Department of State. They are given a small stipend to purchase clothing or school materials and then $125.00 a month to be used for entertainment so they can make friends and have a social connection while they are here. Since the students are here on a scholarship, they are required to give 40 hours of community service as well as give a presentation on their country (in the school), and are closely monitored as the representative has strict documentation deadlines reporting on the students’ success.
These students are truly the brightest of the bright – only about 1200 out of 55,000 that apply are chosen to be in the scholarship programs for a the year. They go through a rigorous application process including recommendations, interviews, essays and exams, and all have demonstrated strong leadership abilities. These are the future political and business leaders of these countries, and we know from the past success of the program that their experience here will encourage them to promote democratic values and institutions in their countries. They are here on a scholarship and will be giving at least 40 hours of community service as well as give a presentation on their country (in the school), and are closely monitored as the representative has strict documentation deadlines reporting on the students success.
I have listed some students below, click on the link to see their bio page, letter, and more information about them:
Radna from Russia (slep 55) is a Buddhist female. She speaks German, Chinese, Russian and English. She is a member of the school Parliament as minister of culture and extra curriculum activities. She likes organizing school activities and events and the best one was organizing a New Years party for little children. Environmental issues are important to her as she feels the environment is the most important part of our life and we should care for it. She is an only child, but would enjoy having a host sibling and she likes small children. She enjoys dinners and board games with her family, ice-skating in the winter, archery, being outside and fitness, Responsibilities around the home are: her cat, watering the plants, shopping, taking care of her grandfather.
Elmira is a Muslim girl from from Russia. She enjoys swimming, bellydance, modern dance, volleyball, art. She is very close to her family, and they enjoy going to Turkey for travel (and to the beach).
Talgat is a male from Kazakstan who speaks Kazakh, Russian and English. He enjoys karate, tae kwon do, basketball, football, volleyball, and wrestling. He is in the top of his class in Chemistry, Physics, and math. He has competeted in 'brain-ring, debate, and dympiads in math. He also enjoys being with friends and sports.
Jahongir from Tajikistan (slep 42) is a Muslim boy, and youngest of three. He likes to read classics such as Shakespear, Mark Twain, and Daniel Defore. He has honors in English, Chemistry, Literature and Bicycling and enjoys Literature club, poetry, computer club, debate, bicycling, volleyball, tennis, karate and football. Cannot eat pork is the only diet restriction.

Abdulvahhobi from Tajikistan (slep 55) is a Muslim boy and oldest of four. Enjoys reading history and wants to study International Relations. He has honors in Russian, English, Physics, Biology and enjoys boxing, basketball, bicycling, swimming, football and running. Cannot eat pork is the only diet restriction.
Oleksandr is a male from Urkraine who also speak Ukrainian, German and English. He enjoys dancing, football, weightlifting, English and German courses. He comes from a small town famous for it's amazing history. Oleksandr is very positive and full of humor.
Anton is a male from Urkraine. He enjoys swimming, football, basketball, soccer and mathematics. He lives with both his parents and his 2 yr old sister. He enjoys talking to his friends via the internet, but he doesn't sit in front of the computer too much. He enjoys playing with his sister, playing or watching football, being with his friends and listening to music - bio attached

These are our highest priority students because they need at least a welcome family very soon or their flights will be cancelled so we are at the final deadline for finding them a host family. We need one as soon as possible or these young students will not be able to come, I do not want this to happen as this is a great exchange program and I want it to work in Austin. The family can host as a welcome family for 4-6 weeks allowing us time to find a permanent home if they don’t want to host the entire school year. We also have other students and I would be happy to send information on some of them as well upon request.
Basically volunteer families provide room/board and integrate them into their normal routines. I will be happy to send more information about the program to those who are interested.
Thanks and please let me know if you would like more information.
Respectfully,
Jayne Allen

AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: ACTR/ACCELS

Dear Colleagues and Friends of International Exchange,

Help contribute to a peaceful world and mutual understanding by housing or helping host an international student.

The American Councils for International Education, a non-profit organization committed to international education in the countries of Russia and Eurasia, is looking for interested families as well as coordinators to facilitate and host foreign exchange students in the U.S. for the 2007-08 school year. These students have undergone a competitive process to earn the right to represent their countries in these programs. Each student speaks English and is eager to learn about American Culture. These one-year scholarship-based programs funded by the US State Department to encourage learning and understanding between Americans and people from Eurasia, include a monthly stipend, incidental funds and medical insurance.

• Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) for students from Russia and Eurasia
• Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) for students from Afghanistan
• American Serbia and Montenegro Leadership Exchange (A-SMYLE)

WE ARE LOOKING FOR COORDINATORS willing to facilitate the student’s stay in the host family, helping them adapt to the American schools, as well as maintaining contact with the American Councils about the progress of the student.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR HOST FAMILIES willing to provide students with a loving and supportive environment, a place to sleep (sharing a room is okay), meals and snacks, and a quiet place to study. All types of families, in which English is the primary language used at home, are welcomed including those with teenagers or younger children in
at home, retirees, "empty nesters," and single parent families.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR YOU
• Partake in historic programs sponsored by our government.
• Share our culture with people from other countries.
• Break stereotypes and create positive impressions about America.
• Learn about cultures of the world on a personal level.

More information on the programs can be found at www.americancouncils.org. If interested, please contact us at taratynova@americancouncils.org or by phone: (202) 833 7522.
