The Northwest International Student Exchange program is looking for host families in the Covington area for exchange students from July 15 to Aug. 3.

The students are from Chengdu, China. They will be visiting the Kent/Covington area for three weeks this summer.

Students will participate in American culture classes at St. John the Baptist during the week from about 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The rest of their stay is spent with their host families. The Chinese students have had three or more years of English. A family can host one or two students, even if they don’t have children living with them.

All that is required is a generous spirit and a spare bed.

Students are between 14-17 years old.

Call Jennifer Burianek at 425-413-6782 or 206-550-6878 or the NISE office at 1-877-222-9803.
