Foreign Year

[Impact]

Hey, guys,
I´m Victor, 15 Years from Berlin

As you can see in the Topic (if the word at all is correct) I am thinking about an foreign Year, because my english is terrible and I would like to go to Britain anyway. Because of this I want to ask here, if there is anyone, who already was guest parent or knows something about that?
It would be great, if there would be someone, who could take me up (we would pay something as well, obviously)
The Point is, that I just want to stay in Britain for just an half Year, because of some amusingly Occurences (don´t know, if you understand what I mean^^) and that would be from the beginning of 2011 (somewhere in January) till the summer Holidays in July.
I don´t know if that is at all possible, without any organisation, because I have to go to a School anyway, but it would be cool, because if that would be possible I could connect the Foreign Year with my Hobby (building and fighting combat Robots) and I could meet you all as well at some events.

Nice Greetings and sorry for my bad English, Victor

Re: Foreign Year

We don't really have the space but if I were to get involved in something like that it would need to be done properly through an organisation such as your school.

In the UK if you were taking in a minor (under 16) it would be a good idea for everyones benefit to ensure that it was done properly with appropriate criminal record checks etc. I think that may be compulsory anyway as the person you would stay with would have to take 'parental' responsibility for you for the time you are here.

Re: Foreign Year

Hey Andy,

thank you for your answer.
In January I have birthday (16), would I be independed anyway?
The Problem is, that it´s a littlebit late, now and it´s hard to find any organisation, who still receives Applications.
And as I said I just want to stay abroud for an half year.

But if I would find an organisation who still would organise a foreign stay for me it would be cool, if there would be someone from here (because we would have a common interest and I think I don´t would find anotherone with this unusually hobby), who would take me up. So I could say to the organisation, that I want to went to this family here etc.
Otherwise they would send me to another selected family.
Do you understand, what I mean?

Nice Greetings
