Foreign Exchange Music Students

Jul/08/2009 21:10

My name is Diane Latvala and I am the Regional Director for International Experience - USA, a non-profit organization that is looking for host families for high school foreign exchange students. I have lived in Prince William County since 1974 and retired from Potomac Hospital, in Woodbridge, 2 years ago, after serving for 27 years. I have placed and supervised foreign exchange students for the last 8 or 9 years (over 200 of them). I live locally and have a passion for helping these students experience life in the U.S. It's my own little sense of striving for world peace as we show them what this country really is about and learn what their country is about.
