Host homes needed for Chinese educators in early October
The School of Education (soon to be “College of Education”) will be hosting a group of Chinese educators from Chengdu from Sept. 22 through Oct. 12. While they will be staying most of the time in a motel, they have also specifically requested that we provide a home-stay experience. The dates of the home stays will be Saturday, Oct. 5, through Wednesday, Oct. 9 (four nights). This will allow them some time to be included in their host family’s weekend activities.
Ideally, two or more would be placed per home, but some could be placed individually, as space allows. Host families are asked to provide sleeping accommodations and meals (except lunch on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). They will also need transportation to and from campus on weekdays. Each host family will be given $100 per guest to help defray costs.
If you are interested in hosting one or more guests from Chengdu, or have questions, please contact Sondra Creason at screason@georgefox.edu by Monday, Aug. 26. Please feel free to forward this information to others who may also be interested.
