You
Can Make A Wonderful World!
At
Titan Planet Homestay, we believe that the
greatest way to learn the true heart and
soul of a culture is not through a tour
of its monuments, but by opening your heart
and home to a young person or guest from
a distant land.
What
is Host Family?
Becoming a host family
is such a great way to form worldwide friendships
and offer help to International exchange
students, young and adult visitors from
abroad. Students and visitors from all over
the world approach Titan Planet directly
or via international organizations to seek
assistance in finding qualified host families
in Malaysia. If you think that you can open
your homes and accommodate an International
Exchange Student or Visitor into your lifestyle.
To offer them support, guidance and a home
away from home caring, we certainly would
like to hear from you.
We
are pleased to know that you would like
to host an International exchange student
or visitor to your home. Hosting a student
or visitor to your home can be a very exciting
at the same time rewarding! Most of our
International exchange student or visitor
are usually from as young as 10 years of
age to adult. However, we may have younger
students coming to participate in a short
term summer or winter program. Exchange
Students usually stay from a 1 to 2 weeks
to several months. They are here to exchange
both country interesting cultures, meeting
new friends and learn your languages and
lifestyle as part of their interest. During
this time you will have the opportunity
to welcome a new member into your family
and learn about other interesting cultures.
If
you offer what it takes to help International
exchange student or visitor, the following
is for you and your family to consider before
you apply to become a host family with Titan
Planet Homestay:
We enjoy meeting and helping people.
We could easily welcome visitor as friends
into my home and life.
We have a guest room that is private,
clean and comfortable and meet minimum
standards.
All members of my family think this is
a great idea.
Convenience to provide guest with 3 meals
a day.
We are willing to help and provide all
the necessary information regarding public
transport. We will show the
visitor how to get to the school, the city,
the nearest bus
stop or train station. A copy
of the local area map or timetable would
be beneficial.
Our visitor
should be provided a comfortable bed, wardrobe
and a study desk or table
with a reading light and a
chair.
Our guest is welcome to use my washing
machine and dryer by themselves. (You
may like to offer to do their
washing).
We will greet our visitor
upon his or her arrival and departure. We
will not go on holiday or leave home during
the visitor
stay. If an emergency causes an unpredicted
absence, I will let the guest and Titan
Planet Homestay coordinator know as soon
as possible.

Benefits
of Being a Host Family
Host families
help International exchange student or visitor
learn about other cultures making life long
friends, and on a grander scale contribute
to increasing tolerance, understanding,
and peace in the world.
Host families appreciate the new and
life long friendships they make with their
guests. Many of our families enjoy the companionship
of having an International exchange student
or visitor in their home to enrich their
own family.
Host families experience a renewed sense
of peace and sharing, as they open their
homes to visitors. Many host children and
teenagers especially enjoy the experience
of gaining a new International brother or
sister to live with. The family gains a
greater understanding of living in love
and harmony with others.
Hosting an International exchange student
or visitor is so rewarding that most of
our host families take in International
exchange student or visitor on a regular
basis.
