Education Travel & Culture (ETC) is a nonprofit educational exchange organization hoping to place Minkeun, a 15-year-old South Korean boy with a host family in the Wake Forest-Granville County area so that he can attend South Granville High School for the spring semester.
Minkeun’s father is a lawyer, his mother a housewife, and he has two older sisters. He is in the tenth grade and is fluent in English. He is passionate about soccer, his favorite subjects at school are mathematics, social studies and physical education. His hobbies are art, board games, camping, reading and watching movies. He describes himself as very active, brave and confident, which helps him make friends easily.
There are two other host families in the Wake Forest area with students who will attend South Granville. Hosts are expected to provide a bedroom, up to three meals a day and transportation to school activities. The students have their own money for clothes, fees, entertainment and travel, and they have medical insurance.
