Our first month with our student has been great. She is often at school and studying hard however taking time to make friends and socialize. I think she is fitting in very nicely with everything.
We are enjoying our time with the girls. I am so glad that we have opened up our home for Homestay and look forward to being a continued part of this.
Loved the experience and my students are amazing young ladies. I will be sad to see them go. Thank you for the opportunity.
We have enjoyed having these girls in our home. We don’t have any complaints whatsoever. I hope they have learned a bit of Canadian culture staying with us!
