Dear David,
It was great talking to you this afternoon and thank you for offering to
forward this to your members. The site does look like a great resource for
English Teachers in Israel and it is exactly these people whom we are trying
to reach.
Twenty Twenty Television have commissioned by the BBC to make a documentary
series in which each week two British teenagers (a 16 year old boy and a 16
year old girl) will be sent to live with a family abroad for one week and we
are looking for host families in Israel to take part.
We understand that Jewish families have a strong sense of family values and
feel passionately about setting a good moral foundation for their children
and are therefore looking for religious observant orthodox families to take
part. We are hoping that this will not only appeal to students and their
families, but also to teachers, and the criteria is that they must have
teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19 living at home.
We believe that there is a great deal of ignorance surrounding the cultural
values of the Middle East and feel that there is a lot more to Israel than
the news stories and bulletins which we see every day in the media. We want
to show Israel as an aspirational place to live, by featuring parents who
believe in instilling discipline, boundaries and respect and hope that with
the help of the English Teacher's Network, we might be able to find suitable
families.
Thank you David for offering to promote this on your website and I have
attached a word document -

for those teachers or students who are interested in applying. I would of
course be interested in talking to English teachers about ways in which we
could promote this to religious schools, as we are looking for up to twenty
families, and encourage anyone who is remotely interested to get in touch.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards
Andrea Wiseman
