🌟 Host Family Spotlight: The Osorio Family 🌟
Meet the Osorio family, who are experiencing the joy of hosting for the very first time this year! They’ve welcomed two incredible students, Kevin from South Korea and Zune from Vietnam, into their home and hearts. Both 16 years old, Kevin and Zune have been diving into their schoolwork, staying active with sports, and making lots of new friends along the way.
For the Osorios, it’s been nothing short of amazing to see Kevin and Zune adapt, grow, and share their unique cultures with them. From introducing them to beloved family traditions to learning about life in South Korea and Vietnam, this hosting experience has been truly enriching for the whole family.
🗣️ Their Hosting Advice:
Hosting is a beautiful journey that goes beyond just sharing a home—it’s about sharing life. The Osorios encourage other families to embrace the experience with an open heart and mind. “Every student has their own background, traditions, and personality, and the key to success is patience, flexibility, and a genuine desire to connect,” they share. By treating their students like family, celebrating their cultures, and learning from one another, the Osorios have found hosting to be rewarding and transformative. There may be a few challenges along the way, but the Osorios agree—it’s totally worth it! Hosting isn’t just about providing a home for a student; it’s about creating lifelong relationships, broadening perspectives, and making a lasting impact on each other’s lives.
Thanks, Osorio family, for opening your hearts and home to Kevin and Zune!
