Host family wanted!
Downtown Desk Ltd, Japanese education agency looking for a Host family.
Students are:
- Between 18 years and 22 years old
- All female
- All Japanese
Homestay period:
Saturday 16 February 2019 to Monday 18 March 2019 for 4 weeks and 2 nights.
We also have 2 students arriving on 9 Sat for 4 weeks, and some other students in March.
They are all from a very strict women's university and their university does not allow them to stay with any single male aged 16 or over even if the male is a family member.
If the host family has any boy (child, relative or homestay student) aged 15 or under, or female in any age while they are staying, it will be no problem at all unless they are Japanese.
The home must be located in North Shore.
All members of the home must use English as a first language.
