    • Hello, My name is Robin Fenwick and I'm a Coordinator for EF Foundation for Foreign Study. This is a not for profit company that helps High School Students have an adventure here in America studying a High School year abroad.

      This year we have a special student who would like to come. He is Korean and a lovely sweet kid but has a mild disability. Due to a fall at 4 years of age, he suffered a Spinal injury. Which for the most part he is fully recovered from. His remaining diability is on occassion he suffers from night incontinence and this is typically when he is over tired, stress or upset. He is otherwise not affected in otherways. He participates in gym and school activities and does well in school.

      I'm hoping to find him a family in New England but would gladly be willing to have him go anywhere in the country that there was a loving supportive family who wanted to share his amazing year. Any student who would have the courage to come and the strength to leave his family with this disability, has my admiration and my hard work and dedication to helping him.

      Please feel free to email me directly or go to the EF Web site and let them know your ask for this boy directly.

      Thank you
