Philippines Winter Hosting is Here!
Philippines Winter Hosting
We’re excited to announce that our Philippines Winter Hosting Program is launching TODAY! We like to think of it as celebrating Christmas in July as families are matched with the amazing kiddos who will participate in the Holiday program over December and January.
Our Philippines Program is currently open to families in Texas, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and New York. This is a requirement of the country.
The children of our Philippines Winter Hosting Program are between ages 8-15, and we have a number of sibling groups looking for a host and forever family. Children from the Philippines are generally healthy and are excited for the opportunity to spend time with a family! These children have often had tough lives but are resilient, sweet, and look to host families for love and support.
