MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Enjoy this music video by a young 16 year old Canadian who produced, played the instruments and a sang on the track, and directed, starred in and edited the video. Along with his sister who helped video, EXCHANGE STUDENTS from his high school hold up signs with holiday greetings in their native languages. Sean Quigly says, "I just wanted to get the message across that there's more to Christmas than trampling people at Walmart."

CULTURAL HOMESTAY INTERNATIONAL

Cultural Homestay International (CHI) is a non-profit public benefit organization founded in 1980 to promote international understanding, friendship, and goodwill through cultural homestays. We believe that the best way to eliminate fear and prejudice among nations is to experience directly the cultures, languages, and customs of the peoples by living with them. The CHI program focuses primarily on the education of the participating student, the volunteer host family, and the local community through communication and interaction in the home, the classroom, the host business and the neighborhood. It is our hope that a more informed citizenry will ultimately contribute to a more prosperous, democratic, and peaceful world.
