In addition to full program gatherings planned by the International Friendship Family Program coordinator, host families and individuals are encouraged to engage their students at various times throughout the year. Suggestions on how to connect and get to know your International Friendship Family Student: Birthdays, every student has one. Find out when it is and celebrate their day. Attend a concert, play, athletic event, art show, or production in which your student participates. They would love to have someone they know in the audience. Grocery shopping. Help your student locate food from home as well as introduce them to goodies available locally. Going to a local school activity? Is job shadowing permitted at your workplace? Rides to or from the airport, bus or train station. Driving lessons! Some international students are interested in getting their driver s license while studying here. If you are so bold (or have a car about to turn in from a lease!) this could definitely be a bonding experience. Go for a hike, snowshoe, cross-country ski, or kayak/boat ride (depending on the season). Hang out and chat about interests you have in common. Babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting can provide a nice alternative from the campus scene for students. As a Friendship Family you are not expected to invite your student to do everything with you, likewise your student may not accept every invitation you extend. Students and families should tailor this relationship to their individual needs and schedules. The friendship families are not sponsors and should never be expected to provide financial assistance. ^4 ~R5OJQJCJ 5OJQJ ^2 4 T<~R & F$a$$a$$a$L/R/ =!"#$+p,p-p.p2P1h0p3P(20՜.+,D՜.+,\Root Entry FCompObjjOle 1Table SummaryInformation(2tWordDocument NDocumentSummaryInformation88t
