By Host a Stanford student

The Community Committee for International Students (CCIS), is looking for volunteer families or individuals to provide a temporary 3-5-day stay for newly arriving graduate students admitted to Stanford University. The homestay program is needed during Sept. 13-18.

In the fall, approximately 600 students arrive at Stanford University. The Bechtel International Center aids in providing a short orientation week (four days) to familiarize them with the university and surrounding community.

The orientation program is offered before the university residences open and the students have no place to stay except hotels and motels which are an expensive proposition.

The homestay program is offered to the students to alleviate the problem, but mostly to provide a chance to meet an American family

People interested in the homestay program should contact Hubert Morell-Seytous, CCIS Homestay coordinator, at 365-4080 or hydroprose@batnet.com

Exchange students need housing

Pacific Intercultural Exchange is looking for 15 caring Bay Area families to host high school students from Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Thailand, Vietnam, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan.

These high school students will begin arriving soon to spend the coming semester or school year with a caring host family while attending the local high schools.

The students are prescreened and speak English. They have medical insurance and their own spending money for clothing, school supplies and entertainment.

Host families are not paid, but may be able to claim a $50 per month charitable contribution on their income tax.
