Short-term host family needed for Okinawan college student

Haisai!

We are looking for a short-term host family for a 20 year-old female from Kita-Nakagusuku, Okinawa.  Nanami is studying at Ryudai to be a nurse.  She will be taking ESL classes at Shoreline Community classes for about 9 months.

Desired location: North Seattle (preferably near Shoreline, or anywhere accessible by bus)

Dates: Starting March 10 (Thursday), for about 1-2 weeks until she settles into an apartment.

There is flexibility regarding the start date and duration of hosting.  If a family can only host for a couple of days, or only start a couple of days after March 10, that would be fine too.

The family would need to provide three meals, or give her access to food so she can prepare her own meals.  A stipend will be given to the family to help compensate for expenses.

If you are interested in helping Nanami, please contact me in English or Japanese by email at perryb3000@gmail.com.

Best regards,
