Reservoir Exchange Student needs a home

By John Hayes
Posted: October 22, 2008

A 16-year-old Austrian exchange student attending Reservoir High School needs a host family for the rest of the school year.

Mona is a friendly, cheerful girl. Her English is very good, and she’s working to perfect it. She loves reading, being outdoors, and shopping with her friends. Mona is a member of Reservoir’s Habitat for Humanity group.

A host family would include Mona as part of their family, share American life, and provide a place to stay and three meals a day. (Mona has her own spending money and health insurance.) In return, the host family would find a new way of looking at the world.

For details, e-mail Sally Byrne at s.b.byrne@juno.com or call 301-604-7739.
