UN Group Invites Hosts for Students

The United Nations Association of Southwestern Connecticut and the Westport International Visitors Committee invite local families to open their homes during the Thanksgiving holiday to international students.

Previous host families and guests have greatly enjoyed the program. Introductions are made through email and telephone. Guests usually arrive at the Westport train station at about 11:00 on Thanksgiving morning.

The rest of the day is up to the host family. Some take visitors for a walk on the beach, others play sports, some have taken their guests to help out in a soup kitchen. Guests return home at a mutually convenient time.

If you are interested in hosting this Thanksgiving or in the future, please email hassbj@aol.com or call Joan Hass at (203) 454-7685.
