Burlington, Canada: We enjoy meeting people from different countries as we ourselves have traveled extensively - between us we have traveled to Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba, Italy, Egypt, Greece, Israel, India, and Nepal.
We think it’s important for our children to understand the global community we live in – how people do things differently, have different customs and foods and speak different languages. Our children are used to students in our home and make them feel welcome and give them lots of speaking practice! |
