How has this experience enhanced your family?

It was a wonderful experience to have Maria live with us and become part of our family. We spend more time together, doing family things now like playing games and going on outings.

How did you rate the matching of the families? Why?

9/10. The match was excellent, our families are very alike and our values and expectations from the exchange were the same!

Did you feel supported while taking part in the exchange?

Yes. Sinead was always available to us if we had any questions or worries.

How your child has grown as a result of their experience?

The experience has boosted our daughter’s confidence and helped Lauren be more independent. Lauren matured a lot with the experience. Her conversational Spanish has improved immensely.
