World Learning has two great international high school exchange students coming to Dallas in August!
Aayush and Silvia below are participants in a very competitive scholarship program funded by the U.S. Department of State. Both students will be arriving in Dallas this August and are in need of host families. Aayush and Silvia will be studying in Dallas this entire 2015-2016 academic school year. Host families serve on a volunteer basis and are eligible for a $500 tuition discount if they have high school children interested in World Learning's Summer abroad programs. These exchange students are required to have an excellent knowledge of the English language and participate in Global Enhancement activities, along with community service hours during their time in Dallas. This is a life changing opportunity to bring the world into your home and travel without having to leave Dallas.
If your family is interested in hosting one of these great students contact:

My Favorite mythological character is Lord Krishna. He was usually very calm and composed, always stood for the right and was forgiving.
I enjoy playing soccer, chess, swimming, playing the guitar, reading and cycling.
In the future, I hope to be an engineer or scientist, and later on be a teacher!

Family is my highest priority and I love spending time with friends and joking around.
I enjoy playing musical instruments, swimming jogging and singing.
In the future, I want to be designer and have my clothes speak to people. I want to use clothing to bring different cultures together!
