Homestay hosts sought

Advertiser Staff

The International Hospitality Center is looking for volunteer hosts for students from Nishihara Township, Okinawa, who will visit O'ahu from July 26 to Aug. 9 for a two-week cultural exchange.

The program is designed as an interactive way for them to learn conversational English. While knowing some Japanese isn't required, it's a plus.

Volunteer homestay hosts will need to provide a bed for the student and include them in family activities. The students will attend classes and field trips each weekday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information, call Barbara Bancel at 521-3554 or write her at ihc@priory.net.
