The
Tennis Program:
During
the summer of 2006, ISE took four (4) tennis players to Israel. They played
in local tournaments, trained with several different Israeli clubs, were
hosted by kids their age and toured the entire country.
Since
the trip, some of the kids of the Israeli host families have been hosted by
the ISE families in the United States. Some of the Israeli kids even
attended some family functions with their U.S. hosts. In addition, several
of the Israeli tennis players were also hosted by the families
of the ISE participants. These Israeli tennis players participated in local
ITF tournaments and attended the U.S. Open with their host families.

In
addition,
when the parents of the ISE participants went to Israel, they were hosted by
the families of the Israeli tennis players they hosted. Many of the
participants have created lasting friendships.
