Openning My Heart

(10/13/2009)

First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sherry Saunders and I have been a single host mom since1994. My 17th exchange student is due to arrive August 23rd, and I am just as anxious and excited as the time I picked up my first student Andre Riberio, who is now 31 years old and married.

"Students Are Measured When They Arrive And When They Leave."

(10/13/2009)

Since the Obama family arrived in Europe has there been an airport reception and welcoming committee like this one!! In 27 years, this is the largest airport delegation I have ever seen. It was so fun to see all of you that day.. Elissandra must have loved the weather...maybe it was warm enough for her to take off her boots? What a honey she is! I have to mention, it has become a foreign exchange tradition at my house..students are measured when they arrive and when they leave. Will she grow taller on American junk food?

Out Of The Box

(09/21/2009)

Fredric Jost is not a citizen of Bibb County. In fact, he isn’t even an American citizen. Since August 1, 2008 he’s been living in Greenpond, Alabama as a foreign exchange student with the Billy Colley family. While he has been humbled by a ten-month experience in Greenpond, Alabama it is we who should feel honored. You see, Freddy is not your ordinary teenager. He’s a young man with an extraordinary talent and a pure love for life. His charisma and pleasant nature has been an asset to our community
