Host family needed, by today, for Chinese student next school year

Bob Maguire needs to find a Medfield host family by today, who will be willing to have a 12th grade Chinese boy live with them for the next school year. This was the request from Bob –

I am reaching out to see if you have any ideas on a problem I am trying to
solve and I am running out of ideas or options.

You are likely aware that we have a thriving partnership with a school
district in China. The exchange and cooperation between our districts is a
nationally recognized model.

As part of the program development we are looking to host students from
the Chinese high school for the next school year. Back at the end of March
the high school there proposed sending 3 students. They will reside with
host families in Medfield. 2 boys and one girl. I began trying to recruit
host families and have 2 confirmed now. Despite good effort I am striking
out on locating a third family and unfortunately the clock is running out.
I am feeling that it will be disheartening to tell one of the students
they cant come so I am pushing to see if I can find a family (or two if
they want to split the year) to help.

This program is very similar to what the schools here have done for years
hosting foreign students through AFS programs. The difference is that this
program connects us directly with a school that we have an established
partnership with and expands the cooperation between us.

Any ideas or connections that you may have would be greatly appreciated. I
think I need to give the other school he bad news by this Friday if I cant
locate an option. Richard DeSorgher has agreed to work as a
liaison/coordinator for the program for next year.

Thanks
Bob
