We even change their bedding and clean their rooms, and do their laundry when they need help. Students make their own breakfasts and lunches. They are welcome to take as much or as little as they wish. We ask them to call us if they are not coming home for supper or if they are going to be late because, like with our own children, we worry. If they smoke, we ask them to do so outside or in their rooms.
Students make what they want for themselves at both breakfast and lunch.
We always have a well-balanced supper for our family and guests. Often we cook ham, roast beef, fish or poultry. We serve rice more frequently as both our Latin American and Asian guests request it on a regular basis. Students generally settle in within a week. Hosting a foreign student provides a tremendous opportunity for cultural exchange, and therefore we encourage the student to bring their friends to our home.
