My name is Coreen Sutphin, my husband Darryl and I started hosting International students in 2005 when we moved from Long Island New York to Sunny Florida.  We were skeptical at first, but after meeting our first student Jonas from the Dominican Republic, we were hooked.  We are still in contact with him and most of the students we have hosted over the years.  It is truly an amazing experience each time we meet a new Child.  Everyone of them finds a place in our heart.  We have learned many new things about countries all of the world.  We have eaten foods, we would have never eaten before.  Our own children loved every experience and will host themselves one day when they are older.
