Families are being sought to host 14- to 16-year-old girls from a Tokyo high school for several weeks this summer through the Compass USA cultural exchange program.

The girls will be in Bellingham from July 22 to Aug. 11. They will attend morning classes and there will be afternoon activities the host families can participate in. The girls will have their evenings and weekends free.

Girls can have their own room or share a room with a similar-age host girl. They will need transportation to and from class.

For details, contact Rebecca Sauter at 360-734-3265 or rtsauter@msn.com. Information about Compass USA is at compass-usa.net.
