Students, who must attenda local high school, are carefully selected fromn a large pool of applicants and placed with families of compatible interests. This effort to create a hrmonious climate for exchange - ensures that families and students * not only discover their similarities, -but also grow fromn the beauty, of * their differences. li AIl family types are i nvited to par- - ticipate: two parents with children, *single-parent families,ý young, older Jr.or childless couples. For all in- S* volved, the learning experience is what surfaces, as this'host parent Sfrom Saskatchewan explains, * "There's a lot of soul-searching. You gain an awareness of yourself and of another country. It's a challenge, but well worth it.

Just last year, DO'C came up with a fun fund-raising idea. "Fast For Life" is this novel approach to raising money, and is a .24-hour fast held in our own school. Students and teachers participating in the fast have gone out and collected sponsors to support thecharity but "Fast For, Life" does not exclude those unçible to participate. The rest of the school have donated a personal sum of money which will be collected and given to share life. The fast held last year was a total success and hopeiully this year's fast will be equally a success. fiIdâ MU Bryce Cooper <It'wouldbedifficult tofindany studentsatAhdersônwifoarè..leased-to be back in school after a great week off.
