Upper Midwest Region Host Family Application & Information – Milwaukee

Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Pequeño Tour and offering to open your home to host our NPH students. Your hospitality represents a major contribution to our program. It enriches the experience of the children visiting by allowing them to experience daily life in the United States. They also connect with the caring individuals who are helping to provide them and their family with emotional support, food, clothing, education and medical care. By opening your homes you are helping us to continue transforming the lives of these incredible young people.

This year, pequeños and chaperones from Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) El Salvador will be our guests in Milwaukee, WI from the morning of March 16th through the afternoon of March 19th, 2020. We are requesting each host family to host two or three guests (two students or two students and a chaperone) for their time in your area. If you are able to host, we are certain that you will find it a most memorable experience.

Host Family Responsibilities
