Visions in Action (VIA) is looking for families to host high school students aged between 15 and 18 and their teachers from French-speaking West and Central Africa as part of a youth leadership and international exchange program supported by the State Department. The participants have been carefully selected by the Public Affairs sections of the various United States embassies, and represent the best in their countries. The 20 participants this spring are from Mauritania and Burkina Faso, and will be in the Washington DC area for 3 weeks, from March 5 to March 26, 2011.
