This not-for-profit, charitable organization encourages young people te join its yearly class of international students by planning, as of teday, an educational adventure in any one of 30 different countries.

"July is the month many of our students return," she explain, "and again tbey've come home largest network of international student exchange programs operating in over seventy countries. Participation fees are comparoble to the amount normally spent on an adolescent over an 11-month period. Financial assistance is available. For more information, contact: with sucb a wealth of knowledge, skills and firstband experiences. I just wish ail students were aware of the possibility to study abroad." Placements in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Brazil, among others, are the organization's current priority. T7hese countries have a school calendar wbich begins in the winter, making it necessary for students to apply te these countries by Sept. 25. Departure for thesq winter destinations will take place between January and March 1989, depending on the country. It's an opportunity not te be missed," concludes Otis. "Not only do our students develop more self-confidence through the experience, but by living with a carefully chosen host family, tbey also get a real and lasting taste of life in a completely different part of the world, which is an education in itself."
