Review for SHARE! High School Exchange Program, Santa Monica, CA, USA
Share! has changed our lives beyond description. Teenagers arrived in our home as strangers and left as family members, and now we have young adult sons and daughters and grandchildren in Norway, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic and Hong Kong. It's impossible to say whose lives are affected more in the hosting process--the student or the host family. I truly believe that the choice to host is in the top five decisions a person/family can make to impact their lives and the lives of others. And making the choice to host with Share! is so important because Share! takes care of its families and students. The support system is second to NONE. Share! rocks my world!

Carol--thank you for such a complimentary review of the SHARE! program. Your family is by far the best gift you have given the SHARE! program. More than the hours and hours you have spent working with the SHARE! program, when it comes down to it, it's families like your's that make SHARE! the program we are!!! Thank you for all the years of hosting, and finding hosts, and for all the good you are spreading to the corners of the world when you decide to call another exchange student "son" or "daughter".
