Welcoming Families From Around the World

The name of “your” family’s country of origin . Kenya , South Africa

At least five ways in which you will prepare yourself to be culturally responsive towards this family .

• One to familiarize myself with their country, their way of life, language, and family customs.
• Two I would extend a welcome to the student and family, including information about my family. For example telling them about my family, our culture, how many in my family, ages, and hobbies. 
• Three to make them feel welcomed and comfortable as possible without over doing it.
• Four research school and programs that are available to the families
• Five most important treat the families the way you would want to be treated without bias.

A brief statement describing in what ways you hope that these preparations will benefit both you and the family . This preparation will help me and the family because by me familiarizing myself with the families culture will show that I am willing to learn and be open by creating an welcoming environment that can make a tremendous difference for families from other parts of the world.
