Home for Christmas
Are you spending Christmas at home this year? Would
you consider including an international student from a university
in the UK in your plans? There are so many students here from China,
India, and many other countries, who are unable to go back at Christmas.
They would love to spend two or three days in a real home, rather
than an empty hall of residence. For many, Christmas will be an
entirely new experience. Staying with you, they could find out what
it is all about, as well as enjoying home-cooked food, joining in
with your activities, and seeing a little of the country away from
the campus. You do not need to live near a university, as many students
are happy to travel to have this opportunity. Your link with a student
will be arranged by one of HOST’s voluntary regional organisers,
who do their best to match hosts and guests who will enjoy one another’s
company. HOST is a long-established national charity, founded by
the British Council. Every HOST visit, whether for Christmas or
for a weekend during the year, is a one-off, although sometimes
lasting friendships are formed. The cultural exchange, and the contribution
to international goodwill, are what make it all worthwhile. If you
would like to know more about volunteering as a host, please see
www.hostuk.org
or call HOST’s regional organiser Roger Lowery on 01885 489024.
