ANY TRAVEL IS GOOD EVEN STEPPING OFF YOUR PORCH AND HEADING FEW HOURS TO ALTER'S ONE'S PUSHLINGT YOOP ARE YOUR LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD IS JUST THAT.

ONE POINT OF VIEW, AND CROSSING BORDERS AND DIPPING INTO FOREIGN CULTURES THAT HAVE DIFFERENT VALUES AND AN EXOTIC WAY OF LIFE IS THE BEST THING FOR SOMEONE TO DO.

OVER THE YEARS ONE IS HOSTING STUDENTS EITHER FOR HALF A YEAR OR A YEAR.

ANOTHER ISLY SAISON HAS A LIAISON.

WE GET TO KNOW THE STUDENT REALLY WELL AND GET TO KNOW THE FAMILY.

YOU FACILITATE COMMUNICATION.

THERE'S A TRAINING ABOUT CULTURAL ISSUES.

YOU AND SOME OF IT IS ABOUT FOOD AND SOME OF IT IS HOW MUCH THEY TALK TO THEIR PHONE DEVICE.

>> I'M ALSO THE STKVERS COORDINATOR INITIALLY WHEN I WAS HOSTING LCKET STUDENTS WERE NOT PERMITTED THEY DIDN'T THINK -- THEY THOUGHT WOULD SOME COUNTRIES WOULD BE ELIMINATED.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED.

>> MANY AFS STUDENTS ARE VERY, VERY BERATE.

>> SHE CALMS INTO YOUR HOUSE AND YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO TALK TO HER AGAIN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THERE'S ONE THING THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO HOSTED BEFORE THEY HAVE A LIFELONG RELATIONSHIP.

SO HER PARENTS HAVE ALREADY INVITED TO GO TO THAILAND.

THEY HAVE A HOUSE PICKED OUT FOR US, AND EVERYTHING.

SO YES, I SUSPECT THAT KUNI N IS IN FOR LIFE.

>> THERE ARE SEVEN HOPEFUL STUDENTS WHO NEED A HOME APPARENTLY.

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> THERE ALREADY EIGHT STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

THEY'RE ALL FEMALE.

WE HAVE SEVEN BOYS WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES.

THEY'RE SEEKING VOLUNTEERS FOR FOLKS WHO COULD DO THAT.

SO WE HAVE A DURAM.

ABDUL ARAM.

>> PLAYING THEIR TALKING ABOUT HISTORY, AND VARIOUS CULTURES.

THEY LOVE THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.

I THINK HUMBOLDT COUNTY WOULD BE.

THEY WILL PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH THE PROCESS.

AND LOOK THROUGH THE PROFILES OF THESE KIDS AND START THAT.

YOU CAN VOLUNTEER TO BE A LIAISON.

WHICH IS AN INTERESTING ROLE.

IT SOUNDS YOU HAVE THEIR CULTURAL NEEDS.

>> SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM IN YOUR HOME BUT IT'S A LOVELY TIME.

YOU GET TO SPEND TIME WITH AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AND MEET THIS FAMILY AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS.

IT'S ALSO A REWARDING EXPERIENCE.

IN THIS WONDERFUL PROGRAM.

I WONDERED WHAT AFS MEANT.

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE.

WHAT AN UNUSUAL NAME.

IT TURNED OUT THIS WAS THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS IN WORLD WAR I.

AT THE END OF THE WAR THEY WERE SO HORRIFIED WAS THERE A WAY THEY COULD PROMOTE PEACE IN THE WORLD INSTEAD OF WAR.

THEY CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA OF EXCHANGE.

THAT'S THE INCEPTION OF AFS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LED WITH THAT.

THAT'S AMAZING.

THAT'S A GREAT STORY.

>> THAT'S THE STORY BEHIND AFS.

>> YOU ALSO SEND AMERICAN STUDENTS ELSEWHERE.

>> THERE'S YOU CAN GO FOR -- THERE'S DIFFERENT LENGTHS.

IN THE SUMMER THERE'S SHORTER AND LONGER.

822-1111.

AND SUSAN IS ONE OF THE COORDINATORS.

>> SO JERRYL LYNN WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST VALUABLE THING FOR OOH 12507B9 WHETHER THEY'RE COMING HERE OR GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.

WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE.

>> IF YOU'RE ROOTED OUT OF YOUR YOU GET TO KNOW WHAT YOUR PARENT'S PRESSURING.

YOUR PEERS'S EXPECTATION.

I THINK IDENTITY FORMATION HAPPENS FOR THE STUDENT.

THEY ALWAYS SEE THEIR OWN CULTURE WITH EYES.

IT'S ALL FRESH AND NEW.

ADAPTION, AND RESILIENCY.

AND YOU DON'T -- YOU'RE TAKING A TEENAGER OUT OF THEIR PEER GROUP.

THEY HAVE TO REACH OUT LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE.

THESE KIDS ARE 15, 16, 17.

THAT'S YOUNG.

>> WELL IT'S LIKE THEY'RE FORCED TO ADAPT.

THEY'RE SUDDENLY ON THEIR OBSERVE.

THEY CAN'T ELOQUENTLY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.

AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO COPE IN A SPRAINING NEW ENVIRONMENT.

WHILE PAINFUL CAN LEAD TO TONS OF GROWTH.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S A VERY REWARDING EXPERIENCE.

>> NOW WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOUR STUDENT DESCRIBED IT?

>> SHE WAS THRILLED.

SHE WAS SO HAPPY.

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE, AND SHE WANTED TO PACK ONE OF MY CATS IN HER SUITCASE.

WE MESSAGE EACH OTHER SO SHE CAN STILL SEE US.

LIKE I SAID I KNOW SHE WILL -- THIS WILL BE SOMETHING SHE'LL REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.

SHE WAS REALLY PROUD OF HERSELF.

SHE GOT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

SHE WORKED REALLY HARD AND GOT AN OFFICIAL CALIFORNIA DIPLOMA.

>> WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.

WE BROUGHT A SMALL GROUP OVER.

I HOSTED A STUDENT FOR A WEEK FROM INDONESIA.

>> YOU SEEM TO HAVE THE PERFECT RESUM É FOR SOMEONE WHO WOULD WANT TO DO THIS.

>> YOU CAN WE GO OVER THIS.

I GRADUATED FROM HUMBOLDT AND ITS VARIOUS MANY NAMES.

>> TEACHER'S COLLEGE TO HUMBOLDT.

I WENT IN THE PEACE CORPS.

I GOT >> Michael: TEACHING CREDENTIAL.

I TAUGHT FOR SECOND GRADE.

I TAUGHT HIGH SCHOOL ESL.

AND THEN I GOT A JOB AT HUMBOLDT AND WORKED THERE FOR THE LAST HALF OF MY CAREER AND IN THAT JOB I ALSO INTERACTED WITH INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS THERE.

I WAS THE STAFF ADVISOR FOR THE GLOBAL CONNECTIONS CLUB.

>> IDEALLY SITUATED.

>> THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW I STARTED MEETING AFS PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ASKED IF SOME OF THE AFS CLUB COULD COME TO THE GLOBAL CONNECTIONS CLUB.

>> THAT'S HOW I BECAME AWARE.

>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE IDEAL FAMILY TO TAKE THESE KIDS IN.

IS THERE A PROFILE.

>> IT IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN THE KIDS HAVE TO REALLY WANT IT.

THE YOUNG KIDS.

AND THE TEENAGE KIDS IT'S GOING TO CHANGE THEIR FAMILY DIN.

>> WHAT KIND OF REVIEW IF THEY SAY I'M INTERESTED IN DOING THAT.

HOW MUCH SHOULD THEY BE PREPARED TO HAVE PEOPLE TO LOOK AROUND.

THE HOUSE HAS TO BE READY FOR THEM.

YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY'S RULES AND EXPECTATIONS.

HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HANDLE CHORES.

WHEN I HOSTED THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO THINK OF THE CULTURE.

HOW MUCH COMMUNICATION I EXPECTED.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY IN SCHOOL.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY AS ITS OWN CULTURE.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THE HOST FAMILIES AS WELL AS FOR THE KIDS.

YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WORK WELL TOGETHER.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PERFECT FAMILY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A MARTHA STEWART HOUSE.

THAT WAS ONE THING THAT KIND OF WORRIED IT.

I'VE GOT STUFF STASHED IN THE CLOSET IN THE BEDROOM.

>> YOU DON'T NEED THE PERFECT PARTNER OR PERFECT FAMILY.

YOU NEED TO BE WHO YOU ARE.

AND BE AUTHENTIC AND WHO YOU ARE.

>> AND I -- THAT'S WHAT I WAS WORRIED ME GEE THIS ISN'T A PERFECT HOUSE.

YOU'RE FINE.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN'T HAVE A FUTON BED.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REAL BED.

>> IT'S A PERMANENT PIECE OF FURNITURE.

>> SOME OF THE STUDENTS ON THIS LIST SOME OF THEM ARE IN A PARTICULAR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM.

I WANT TO IMPRESS IT'S CALLED THE YES PROGRAM AND FROM SOME OF THESE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE A MAJORITY MUSLIM POPULATION THEY'RE IN A COMPETITIVE SITUATION WHERE TO COME 1 TO 100 GETS SELECTED.

THEY HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY.

AT THE TOP OF IT.

>> SO TO GET A SLOT.

I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE REBECCA FROM MOZAMBIQUE.

THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK.

THEY WORKED AT THE THRIFT SHOP IN ARCATA.

AND HAVE TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK HERE AND WHEN THEY GET HOME THEY HAVE TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK.

YOU'RE GETTING CREME DE LA CREME OF THE STUDENTS.

>> GIVES YOU A SENSE HOW MUCH THESE KIDS WANT THIS.

>> THEIR FAMILY IS ROOTING FOR THEM.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED THIS IS MORE REPRESENTATION NULL OF THE WORLD THAN YOU TYPICALLY SEE IN THESE KINDS OF PROGRAMS.

NO OFFENSE TO SWEDES OR NORWEGIANS.

CULTURES THAT WERE COMFORTABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE WESTERN.

IS THAT ON PURPOSE.

>> THAT'S PARTLY BECAUSE OF THIS PROGRAM.

OUR STATE DEPARTMENT AFTER 9/11 WANTED TO HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MUSLIM CULTURE.

IT'S PEOPLE TO PEOPLE.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY FUNDING IT.

OUR GOVERNMENT IS FUNDING IT.

>> THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE WAR THERE'S A GERMAN BRACE PROGRAM TOO WHERE WE GET STUDENTS FROM GERMANY.

AFTER THE WAR THERE WAS A LOT OF COMPETITIVE THERE.

>> FLEX IS THE GERMAN BASED PROGRAM.

>> WE HAVE A MINUTE LEFT.

IS THERE ANYTHING I MISSED THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.

>> 822-1111.

>> IT'S REWARD.

YOU SEND A KID.

YOU TAKE CARE OF A KID.

YOU GET MORE INTERCULTURAL EXPERIENCE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD THIS IS YOU'RE BUILDING BRIDGES AMONG THE YOUTH.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO SHAPE GENERATIONS.

WE SURE HOPE SO.

>> AND TIME WHEN TRAVEL IS REALLY HARD INSTEAD OF TRAVELLING YOURSELF YOU BRING THE WORLD TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU LADIES FOR COMING ON THE SHOW.

>> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

>> LAST NIGHT HUMBOLDT COUNTY GOVERNMENT APPROVED WHICH COULD BE LARGEST PRIVATELY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

HEADLINE HUMBOLDT ERIC BLACK REPORTS.

>> THE COMPANY COULD DUMP MORE THAN 12 MILLION OF FISH WASTEWATER OFF OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY'S SHORE.

THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO US AS WE ARE RELIANT ON CLEAN WATER TO SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE OUR.

NORDIC AGREED TO SEAWATER QUALITY.

AND DURING INITIAL DISCHARGE.

THAT ADDITIONAL MONITORING WILL HELP STATE REGULATORS MONITOR STATE WATER QUALITY.

>> WHICH IS TO REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM THE SITE AND THEN DO THE PRE-PREPS FOR THE BUILDINGS WHICH IS THE GROUND DENSIFICATION.

WHICH IS DIG UP THE SOIL THE GROUNDWATER AND RECONSTRUCT THE GROUND AT A DENSITY AND COMPACTION THAT.

PART OF THAT WILL ENABLE NORDIC AS PART OF THAT WORK TO SCREEN THE MATERIAL, AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WOULD BE REMOVED.

40% OF THE FISH FARM IS FROM CHINA.

WE'RE HEARING FROM ENERGY HYPOCRISY.

IT'S FARM FISH WE WANT TO GET THAT FISH FARM FROM CHINA.

WITH AN AMBITIOUS REMODEL PROJECT IN PROGRESS.

IN EUREKA WE'RE LOOKING AT GOING TO BE REMODELED AND TURNED INTO A BETTER FACILITY FOR LOCAL WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

WE'RE HERE TO TALK WITH BRYAN HALL HEAD OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE EUREKA RESCUE MISSION.

THINGS INCREASING IN COST AND INFLATION TO GET THEM IN HERE AND GET THEIR LIVES BACK.

OUR NEWSLETTER IS CHOCK FULL OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN COMING HERE AND LEAVING HERE AND GETTING INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.

AND PICK OUT SOMETHING NEW.

>> A LOT OF THIS COMES FROM OUR THRIFT STORE AND THEN THIS WOULD BE REFIGURED DOWNSTAIRS.

>> YEAH.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH WALLS ARE GOING TO BE TORN OUT.

>> SO WE'LL HAVE SINGLES, DOWNSTAIRS IN A DORMITORY AND UPSTAIRS WILL BE FOR FAMILY WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

WE'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS JUST TONS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND FAMILIES COME IN HERE JUST WITH THEIR FLEEING BEING BEAT UP-AND-COMING IN HERE AND BEING ABLE TO GET THEIR LIVES TOGETHER.
