Ever thought about sharing your family's home and culture with a Russian child? Host families are still needed for our Angels from Abroad program which provides older Russian children living in orphanages a chance to learn about American culture and experience living in a family while sharing their Russian culture with others.  Host families must reside in TX or be able to do so for 2 weeks in August.
