Group seeks hosts for cultural exchange
A French cultural exchange group is looking for Atlanta host families for 25 French students who will be visiting from July 5 through July 25.
Paris-based sponsor Loisirs Culturels à l'étranger gives the teens comprehensive medical insurance and gives host families compensation for room and board, and they come with their own spending money, said Linda Farmer, a retired French teacher who will oversee the visit.
The students speak some English, so hosts need not speak French. Information: 770-973-2452, lgfarmer@aol.com and see www.lec-usa.com.
