International students

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Our son Don and his family participate in a Council for International Students attending nearby Cal State Fullerton and several other local colleges in the area. Members of the group, all volunteers, track the college rolls for incoming foreign students. The council members meet them at the airport as they arrive from their overseas homes and see to transportation to their new college. They then insure that housing is arranged. Then too the council members welcome the international students into their own homes for a three day period before classes start to assure the young people that they are welcome in this country.
