I was wondering if any one knows of a program in another country, where I could immerse with a local family. I am looking to learn from them the way they make their craft, traditionally. I&#39;ve seen small towns offering weaving and organic gardening, in return of your help with daily chores.</p> <p>Please, let me know where I can look for this.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
