OTHER
 
1. KIC’s home stay program compensates each host family to help cover the cost of room and board: $215 per week for each single room student (half-board); and On March 31, 2012, KIC will be hosting a group of Brazilian scholarship students.  They will be here from March 31 until April 28.  The host families are expected to provide two meals a day and provide a clean room with a bed and desk for the students. We ask that host families live within a maximum 30-minute commute to KIC, and close to public transportation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lisa Holsworth, School Director via email Lisa.Holsworth at kaplan.com or at (510) 204-8981 x7503.

2. Flash, the cat who lived on the Berkeley High campus for a month, was recently rescued!  He is currently happy, healthy, in foster care and in need of a great home!  He is eager to receive attention and is very playful and quick to purr.  If you are interested, please contact Sabrina at berkeleyhighcat at gmail.com 

*3. Host Families Wanted for International Exchange Students!
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in hosting international high school students for the 2012/2013 school year. We have students 15-18 years old from around the world who will be arriving in August for 5 or 10 months. These students have been pre-screened and admitted to the program from over 30 countries like Brazil, Spain, Belgium, Slovakia, Mongolia, Japan, Korea, and Thailand. We have students interested in a variety of activities including all kinds of sports, scouts, youth groups, piano, art, dance music, reading, math/science, skiing, baseball, soccer, volleyball, hiking/camping, basketball, choir, band, drawing, and painting. As a host family, you would provide shelter, basic food, and loving support. The students have their own spending money for all other expenses and carry medical and dental insurance. Ongoing local support is provided, as an academic coordinator will serve as a liaison between the student, the school, and your family. Without host families, we would not be able to help these students achieve their American Dream! We would love for you to host! To find out more, contact Linda Ostro, Academic Co-ordinator for Cultural Homestay International (CHI) at (510) 339-3379 or go to http://www.CHInet.org/ayp/ to find out more.
