The summer program is about to conclude and we are already gearing up fpr the Holiday Hosting Program - host families are needed!

Orphaned Children stay with you from late December through mid Jan. (do not have the actual dates yet) NEPA is an awesome place for hosting because there is so much to do in the winter - ice skating, sleding, sno - tubing etc.Ukrainian kids are well aquainted with the cold

I will be getting photos of participating kids in August so if anyone has any questions let me know. I will be able to send pictures of the children to qualifies families in about 2 weeks!

Sheena, that is a really nice program. Would love to see pictures when you get them. Do the children speak English as well?

Most of the younger ones are bi-lingual in Russian and Ukrainian, but language turns out not to be a problem. A few of the older ones who have traveled before have picked up some English words or phrases. If they are above 12 they have studied English in school.
Yes it is an AWESOME program and provides an incredible cross-culture experience on both ends.
I will get the pictures of the kids participating in August, but if you DM me, I can send you photos of kids who have participated in the past, and some who may or may not be available for hosting.
Also, feel free to ask any questions.

Default winter hosting

We are a family in New York interested in your winter hosting program. Would you be able to send us pictures of any children still needing a host family?
Thanks so much.
