I once WAS a foreign exchange student that lived in USA (Texas). The family I stayed with hosted before many students across the world (from south america , Europe and Asia) they were a total of 6 students including me. The family always talked about how they missed the previous students ( hope they are talking about me now) :p which proves that they really liked them, and considered them as family. The benefits are numerous , first (and this you probably know) you could learn the culture of different countries, develop relationships overseas, and many more, you would come to like each other a lot you would stay in contact with them. Ofcourse talking to organizations responsable of these programs is much better than hearing it from me lol.

We hosted 4 times. Each time was horrible and didn't last the year. We hosted a French kid who lasted 2 weeks before we kicked him out. He refused to speak English and told us we had to learn French if we wanted to speak to him. He refused to bathe (come on, this is Florida and it was August!). He told me he would not eat unless it was French food. I told him he was going to lose a lot of weight. I would NEVER recommend hosting an exchange student.

There are inifinte reasons why hosting an exchange student can help you - first being the relationships that can be developed by hosting. It is always nice to have a "son" or "daughter" in another country when the student leaves for his or her home country, and while he or she is here you will enjoy teaching him or her new things. The look on their faces is priceless, and the international bond created is even moreso valueless.

I live in Toulouse and i'm half French and half Irish so i have both cultures in me. I have a passion for America so i have a few ideas: - Bring back something that represents America, like a number plate from the state you live in. - If he likes sports i'm sure you can find good stuff about the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB. - One penpal gave me a one dollar note, it's always something Europeans like. That's about it, France has everything just like like America, so in my opinion you should do something like that. I hope i helped PS: Toulouse is a lovely city: warm, nice to live in and the people are known in France to be the friendliest. Enjoy your time there =)
