Institution Univers ESL Students Visit PA
In August we had the honor of hosting two ESL students from Institution Univers in Haiti. Richelcie & Shenay-Love spent a week with us visiting south central PA while studying English. The students toured the PA State Capitol, Snyder’s Pretzel Factory and Utz Potato Chip Factory. They experienced Bowling for the first time with some members of St Peter, enjoyed a Hershey Park Happy Day and a Picnic with friends from Hope in Haiti. Richelcie & Shenay-Love also had the opportunity to visit the Liberty Bell, the US Mint and a few other sites in Philadelphia. We were even able to squeeze in some swimming, a campfire with s’mores, a movie, a trip to the library, some pizza and a girls night with Megan’s friends.
With so much packed into our few days together Richelcie & Shenay-Love still had to find time for their English lessons each day. Megan spent many hours helping them complete their workbooks and journals and they even spent some time helping Megan with her Creole.
Hosting the students was definitely outside my comfort zone, but something my kids were passionate about. With some encouragement from them and a big nudge from the Holy Spirit I finally agreed to host. The week with Richelcie & Shenay-Love was the best week of the summer! Awesome things happen when you listen and take a leap of faith.

Will you consider hosting and/or sponsoring students this summer in August?
We still have some weeks to fill up so please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested. I can get you in touch with past sponsors, too, if you'd like to ask them questions.
Thank you for your consideration. You won't be sorry doing this!
