We are an Austrian family living in the countryside near Vienna. We are both socialworkers and try to educate our children in a honest and respectful way being able to reflect the own behavior.
We are trying to find serious hostfamilies, eventually teachers, for our children for Summer 2010.
Tobias, 16 by now, is in a bilingual school since last year and will have his A-level in summer 2012. There are exams, exams and more exams, but his grades are excellent. He is a nice young man, still a little bit shy adverse the other gender. He was already twice in England to learn the language, so for us it is not so urgent to find a familiy for 2010, but hopefully for 2011. On the other side for Luna it would be easier to have her elder brother not to far away, if she is in a foreign country allone for the first time.
Luna, 11 , is going to secondary school now since last autumn, she learns English for the first time.
We would especially like to send her to England this summer to practise the English language.
Perhaps you know a family who would be happy to let her take part of the family life. We imagine her to live with a family for about 4 weeks as a paying-guest. As an alternative we could offer an exchange , so that next year a child might come here to Austria and stay with us for a couple of weeks.
Hoping to hear from your side soon!
