<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates; I am assisting a young man from Germany in finding a host family for him for the 2001-2002 school year. The sixteen year old is particularly interested in the Northeast, although he is flexible. He would be with his host family for an entire school year. The difficulty for his exchange organization is that he is a Celiac, and they are unable to find him a family to stay with that has experience with the disease. This of course would be the appropriate accommodations because the family he lives with would have to be able to cook for him and handle his diet. He has been trying since July 2000 to locate a family. A bright young man who likes acting, music and American Culture, he would be entering the 11th grade this fall. If you are interested or would like to learn more about this promising young Celiac, please email me as soon as possible. Time is running out for this young person to locate a family in time for the upcoming school year. He is represented by an exchange agency of which further details can be supplied. Thank you for any assistance. Tanis Collard, President MA & RI Celiac Support Group for Children, & Adults too! CSA/USA, Inc. Region 3 Director <[log in to unmask]>
