557.0. "HOST FAMILY AUGUST" by EVOAI2::ARBARET () Tue Mar 24 1992 13:48

         Hello!
         
         My son, 17 years old would like to spend his summer holydays 
         in CANADA. He would appreciate to live within a family in the 
         forest, moutains ou lake area.
         
         He is a very sportive boy :
         
         skiing, climbing, riding a bike, sailing, swimming, diving,
         
         He does'nt smoke. He likes nature, photography, fishing. He 
         has been for 4 years boy scout!
         
         He is in an high school in the ALPS (boarding school).
         
         This trip could be an exchange with other boy who could come
         over here (Paris area) this year or later or my son could 
         give help in a farm or other...
         
         If you have friends or relative let them know about my 
         request.
         
         Thank you in advance.
         
         

    Just a few questions.
    
    	 I have relatives in Quebec. Some live in the cities, some in the
    country. The relatives who live in the country may or may not have
    room. (I don't know yet. I haven't asked.)
    
    		1. What would be their responsibility to your son?
    
    		2. Expectations from both sides. (What if they don't get
    along? What happens then?)
    
    		3. They may not be able to send him anywhere. Is he ok with
    staying put during his stay?
    
    		4. What kind of a kid is he?  
    
    
    	I know some of these questions are ??????  But I have a 15 yrs old
    who is interested in going to Canada or France for the summer also. So,
    how would you feel about taking him. I'll start asking my relative how
    they feel. Don't get your hopes up too soon. I never know how my
    relatives are going to react. :^)
