program participants stay with an American family for two weeks shortly
after arriving in Montana. It is good opportunity for them to learn about
American ways of life and get accustomed to them. During the homestays,
they meet many different people from different cultures. Host families regularly
take the LEAP participants to various places of local interest. Some enjoy
hiking and traveling to Yellowstone National Park or other places with great
views in Montana. Others may go to a party or church. Through these experiences
staying with American families, they learn about American culture, manners,
food, religion, and American ways of thinking. |
