Who's interested in opening their home to a 15-year-old Egyptian exchange student for the coming school year?
I got a phone call from a representative of Academic Year in America, a federal student exchange program. They have a boy by the name of Ahmed Mahmoud getting on a plane in Egypt tonight. He'll be in Washington, D.C. for a few days, and then on to Kansas City. But he doesn't have a host family yet. They must be desperate, LOL!, because they looked up belly dancers on the internet, trying to find people who are interested in the Egyptian culture who might be willing to open their home to him. Kansas City metro area only. Lawrence, Independence, Blue Springs and Liberty school districts won't accept him. But all other high schools in the area are an option.
He is proficient in English (10 years) and will have a monthly allowance. The host family is expected to include him in their family activities, provide meals, transportation in the area, etc. He doesn't have to have his own room but is supposed to have a bed and place to store his belongings.
If you would like more info, we need to move quickly, so please get hold of me right away, and I'll put you in touch with the exchange program. Their website is www.academicyear.org

What's special about Ahmed:
Ahmed is a very intelligent boy who has a real talent for languages. Besides speaking his native Arabic he has studied English for 10 years, French for three years and German for one year. He is very mature for a 15 year old and he says it's because he reads so much and is involved in so many organizations. For example, he is the head of the library, art, press and computer clubs and is also interested in leadership, peace and conflict and youth programs. Ahmed also plays basketball and football. He does not like to be lazy. He says he likes to wake up early and take a walk outside before starting his day. Ahmed would like to work with computers for a living because he says it is the link between countries and it's the future. Ahmed's favorite subject is history. He says that history eaches me the history of my beloved country which I am proud of being one of its children. Ahmed really looks forward to this experience and meeting his new host family.
