New Arrival (Émilie)

The child we were expecting arrived yesterday. As expected, she's fluent in French, and very good with English as well. In other words, as we did last year, we're hosting a foreign exchange student. This year, it's for one month. The point of the month so that the students can attend a Language and Culture Enrichment Camp. This is aimed primarily at students from Asian countries such as Thailand and Japan, where their English might need some quick improvement to be able to survive in an English-speaking high school. After the relatively short "Camp", the students (maybe 25 or so) will disperse and live with English-speaking families throughout the continent.
