LELAND, NC (WWAY) — NACEL Open Door is an exchange student program that connects American host families with international students.“NACEL is program where students and families can get matched together so that students can come to the United States and have an experience,” said NACEL Open Door Representative Melissa Beattie.- Advertisement – In the last 10 years, Beattie and her husband have hosted four international students.“I have helped coordinate four students who are here in the area,” Beattie said.She said she had a great foreign student exchange experience herself years ago in France and that’s what drives her to help other students find host homes.“Its just been an amazing experience building relationships with these students from other countries,” Beattie said.Ines Monzon Vela is a foreign exchange student from Spain who has been in the Wilmington area since August 2018.A few weeks after her arrival, Hurricane Florence struck the region causing widespread devastation. Vela has also volunteered helping with clean-up efforts.“We helped with my church and then with the other exchange students we helped at one house because they needed help,” she said.Vela says another advantage of being part of a foreign exchange program is that it allows you to travel around the world and meet new people.If you have considered hosting a foreign exchange student, Beattie offers this encouragement.“Reach out to me, reach out to NACELOpenDoor.org for an opportunity to speak with other parents who have hosted students to see what an amazing experience it is because its not just about that 10 months, its about the relationship you build with these students for a lifetime,” Beattie said.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/Handout via REUTERS/File Photo/File Photo More than 34,000 people across Europe caught measles in the first two months of 2019, with the vast majority of cases in Ukraine, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday as it urged authorities to ensure vulnerable people get vaccinated.The death toll among 34,300 cases reported across 42 countries in the WHO’s European region reached 13, with the virus killing people in Ukraine – which is suffering a measles epidemic – as well as in Romania and Albania. The risk is that outbreaks may continue to spread, the WHO warned.“If outbreak response is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable individuals and potentially spread to additional countries within and beyond the region,” it said in a statement.“Every opportunity should be used to vaccinate susceptible children, adolescents and adults.”Measles is a highly contagious disease that can kill and cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. It can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but – in part due to pockets of unvaccinated people – it is currently spreading in outbreaks in many parts of the world including in the United States, the Philippines and Thailand.In Europe, the majority of measles cases so far in 2019 are in Ukraine, which saw more than 25,000 people infected in the first two months of the year.There is no specific antiviral treatment for measles, and vaccination is the only way to prevent it, the WHO said. Most cases are in unvaccinated or under-vaccinated people.It added that even though the region had its highest ever estimated coverage for the second dose of measles vaccination in 2017 – at around 90 % – some countries have had problems, including declining or stagnating immunisation coverage in some cases, low coverage in some marginalized groups, and immunity gaps in older populations.The WHO called on national health authorities across the region to focus efforts on ensuring all population groups have access to vaccines.“The impact on public health will persist until the on-going outbreaks are controlled,” it said, adding that health authorities should “identify who has been missed in the past and reach them with the vaccines they need.”A report by the United Nations children’s fund UNICEF last month found that more than 20 million children a year missed out on measles vaccines across the world in the past eight years, laying the ground for dangerous outbreaks.
