Sounds like fun!

I think you're making a great choice by hosting two students from two different countries. I hosted two students a few years ago. One girl was from Croatia and the other girl was from Brazil. I thought it worked out fabulously because they were the same age and became involved in a variety of extracurricular activities together. The total bonus was that they were both "forced" to work on their English to speak with each other. I think their English skills improved so much due to that. Near the end of the year together they started teaching each other their native languages. It was a GREAT experience.
