CALLING ALL OLY FOLKS!
This is a shout out to my Oly crew!
SMC is in need of some host families ASAP!
Considering all unbelievably generous hospitality I have been shown over the past three months, I think it would be really awesome if some of my friends and family showed the same hospitality to a Japanese student in return.
Why, even Grammy could hug and feed a quite little MWU girl and pretend she is me. (Not that I am ever clean or quiet...) They will be amazed by the size of your homes! they will bring you wonderful gifts! They are the best houseguests you could ask for! These students are the nicest, cleanest, more generous people you could imagine meeting, I mean it.
Even if YOU can't host a student, print this out and post it in a staff room, or circulate it amongst friends and neighbors!
Just think about how sad I would have been if I came all the way to Japan, and no one invited me to share their home and culture? If I didn't have so much as a bed to sleep in? Let's see of we in the USA can't match the hospitality I have been shown here in Japan, right?
Thanks,
Mo.

US location doesn't matter?
Sorry, only my friends in Olympia (Oly) Washingtn. But I'm sure there is a dozen or so other local schools/ organizations in your area who would love volunteers.
Thank you so much for the bleg! ;) As the e-mail said, we need 'em badly. And yes, smc can only use families in Oly and surrounding community but as mo said, most colleges and universities are constantly looking for families!
