Roll up your flying carpet, turn off that box in the corner, sit comfortably on your sofa and meet the world.
In universities and colleges across the UK there are thousands of international students who would love to meet some of the inhabitants of these islands and chat about the differences in our culture and lifestyles, as well as discover points of contact.
HOST, a well-established national charity founded by the British Council and the Foreign Office, is seeking volunteers to welcome one or two students into their homes for a weekend or over the Christmas period. Such an experience would stand out in their memories of Britain and may change their perceptions of this country for ever.
For more details call the HOST Regional Organiser, Trina Golland on 01707 642091 or send an email to richard.golland @ virgin.net
