We've had lots of rocks thrown in our stream over the years. One of the most interesting, and one of the most life-changing is the addition of exchange students. We have had 7 students stay in our home, and for the most part, it has been a wonderful experience.
Yang Lou--Columbia
Katrin--Germany
Mika--Japan
Jorge--Brazil
Marina--Brazil (Jorge's sister)
Samuel--Brazil
David--Australia
It has enriched our life greatly, and changed it significantly.
Tomorrow, Miriam will join us for a few weeks from Germany, with her classmates staying at other homes of our daughter's friends. Should be fun!
If you want an opportunity to host an exchange student, there are two organizations (that I know of) which facilitate that: ERDT and the Rotary Club.
If you just want to dip your toes in, try warmshowers.org or couchsurfing.com. You can have travelers visit your home, and that pebble will definitely change your stream for the better.
