Attention folks in and near Nashville

by Jenny Myers

Oct 7, 2008

Dear Tennessee Educators,

The Miss Tennky Area AFS Volunteer Leadership Team still need full year homes for students.. the most "critical" is for Omer from Turkey and Andra from Indonesia. Both are really good kids! They are both interesting, helpful around the house (both cook), good students, and well mannered kids! Please, ask around. We would like to keep them in the schools they are in already, but don't let that limit you. We can have them change schools if need be. They may be in any private or public schools in southern KY or near Nashville for special meetings as they are scholarship students. Keep in mind that one does not have to have siblings and single, widowed and retired folks make great host parents. We have had many great situations were the host sibling attended a private school and the AFSer attended public school. In these cases, the AFSers said he/she has an opportunity to meet more folks while here.

Andra (Male from Indonesia)

Andra attends Hillwood High School. He is on the cross country team and likes to write. He helps his host family with cooking. The host mom in his current family is leaving for Zambia in the middle of October... so we need a new family for him very soon.

In Indonesia, Andra was very active in youth organizations vocal about social problems and awareness. He strongly believes in working to create a better world for today's youth. He also likes to write and participates in the production of his school newspaper. His favorite subject in school is biology and in the future would like to be a child psycologist. He looks up to his father as a role model and likes to help around the house by washing dishes, washing the car and helping his mother cook. Andra has been recognized several times by various organizations for the work he does as an advocate for child welfare. Andra can live with pets and doesn't smoke

Omer (male from Turkey)

Omer is 17. He is mature for his age (at least it seems so to me). Omer likes sports and will be on the soccer team in the spring. He currently attends Hillsboro High School. Omer is also getting very good grades and his English is very good. He is in the IB program at Hillsboro and fluent in Italian as well as Arabic and Turkish. He is considering going into international relations, but also likes the idea of owning his own restaurant/hotel some day. He lived in Italy for a while and is quite self sufficient. He is great with little kids and can live with pets, plus doesn't smoke.

Thanks for any assistance that you may give us. If you would like presentations on our AFS sending programs in the future, please, contact us and we will bring some of our thirty (30) current AFSers and our volunteers to your classrooms.

Sincerely yours, Jenny Myers Watkins College of Art & Design Miss Tennky Area AFS Volunteer Leadership Team Hosting Coordinator [link removed]
