World Families Educational Exchanges

	SPRING 2006 HOMESTAY PROGRAM IN JAPAN
	March 23 - April 7, 2006
	World Families is coordinating a spring exchange program in the Tokyo area of Japan for youth who have previously hosted a student from the Labo organization. During the homestay, students will be involved with family life, local events and sightseeing. This truly will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
	The dates selected are during the end of the school year break in Japan. Japanese students will be more available to spend time with their American friend than during the summer. Even though these dates may not coincide with the spring vacation scheduled at your school, we believe your school administration will allow participation in the program because of its great educational value. We will be happy to assist you in securing permission for the absence from your school administration, if necessary.
	Dates: March 23 – April 7, 2006 (approximate) Cost includes: Round-trip airfare Seattle-Tokyo, economy fare Homestay with Japanese family Ground transportation to and from the host family Orientation program and materials Adult chaperone for the entire trip (min. group 10 participants) Overnight stay at a downtown Tokyo area Hotel upon arrival Medical insurance coverage Meet & greet service at Seattle and Tokyo
	We will make every effort for you to stay with a student your family has hosted. Please notify us immediately for an application if you are interested in going to Japan this spring.
