Substituting is always the best way to get into a system.
There is also the systems nearby in KY and the Ft Campbell
base school. If you need to volunteer, the Miss Tennky Area
AFS Leadership Team is always looking for registered
volunteers and host families currently for the fall. We need
families for 4 students: 1 Thai female and 3 males from China,
Chile and Paraguay. Call Jenny Myers at 615-385-9644 or e-mail
her at AFShosting@misstennky today if you or you know of a
family who would like to open their hearts and home to an AFS
high school foreign exchange student for the next school year.
They are fully insured medically and bring their own spending
money. They need placements now in order to arrive in time for
school to begin.
