INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL A BIG SUCCESS!!

CIEE participated in iFest, UAH's annal international festival that celebrates the diversity of cultures in our area.  We set up a booth to promote CIEE's high school program and to recruit future host families.  Students earned community service hours as the promoted CIEE and enjoyed the festival. Thanks to the good work of the CIEE representatives, fourteen families requested that we send them information about becoming a host family!

FUN ON THE ELK RIVER

CIEE students, LC's and host families from Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia met for an afternoon on the Elk River in Kelso, Tennessee. Some of us kayaked and some of us canoed but we all had fun.

We're off!
