We have welcomed students from all over the world for more than ten years. Here is what just a few had to say:
“Thank you for the time in your home. It was the best time I ever had in my life and I couldn’t have wished a better homestay.
It was a big advantage that your place is so close to downtown Vancouver so that I could save a lot of time to go to school compared to other homestays. I really liked the manner you were acting with your students and I felt welcome in your home from the first moment. I always felt treated as a family member and so it was really easy to settle in the new surrounding.
I appreciated that your students always could participate in family events and I liked the conversations with you very much. I learned a lot of our discussions especially for my English skills.” |

| “I just want to thank you for
everything. You gave me the best host-family. I
couldn't have asked for something better. The family is
great and your company is really good because you were always
taking care of me and checking if I was happy or not.
Thank you for everything." |

“I’m so happy I spent three months in your house. I will never forget it. You were so nice with me. The times we
spent swimming were great. I hope I can see you again. Thank you for everything. I think I couldn’t have had a better homestay family. I really felt like I belonged.”

| “ I never forget 2003 Christmas. It was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. Thank you everyone – you are so generous and kind. You are always smiling at me and full of good conversation. You are like my real family. This was the happiest moment in my life. I’ll miss you so much.” |

| “It was splendid to celebrate Christmas with you. As you know, I have to leave Canada soon. I’ve been here almost 10 months. Thank you for everything you have done for me. I had a great time in Vancouver because of you. In these past 10 months I’ve been feeling like I’m with family. I never felt loneliness. Thank you for supporting me. If I hadn’t been in this family, I wouldn’t have enjoyed staying Canada. I don’t know how to express my thankfulness and respect for you. You are always in my mind.” |
