The students are anxiously awaiting news of their new families. These young am- bassadors are looking for- ward to fulfilling their life-long dreams. According to Pacific In- tercultural Exchange (P.LE.) President, John Doty, the students are all between the ages of 15 and 18 years, are English-speaking, have their own spending money, carry accident and health insur- ance, and want to share their cultural experiences with their new American families. P.LE. currently has programs to match almost every fam- ily's needs, ranging in length from one semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local public and private high schools. “At this critical time in our country’s history, host- ing an international teen is the best and purest form of ~ public diplomacy the United States has,” said Doty. P.LE. area representatives match students with host families by finding common interests and lifestyles through an in-home meeting. Prospective host families are able to review student appli- cations and select the perfect match. As there are no "typ- ical" host families, P.LE. can fit a student into just about any situation, whether it is a single parent, a childless couple, a retired couple or a large family. Families who host for PILE. are also eligible to claim a monthly charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for each month they host a spon- sored student. For the upcoming pro- grams, P.LLE. has students from Germany, the former Soviet Union, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, Croatia, Korea, Mexico, Slo- vakia, China, and many other countries.
