30 Mar 99 - 08:24 AM (#66850) Subject: Down-Under 'Catters-or other non-USA From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Wouldn't you love to spend next school year in the USA? Our elementary school (ages 5-11) hosts a "cultural ambassador" each year from a different country. We have had visitors from Kenya, Russia, Turkey, Ecuador, China, Japan, and Egypt. Next year is still wide open. The "ca" lives with host families, spends some of the school day teaching about his/her culture, and gets lots of warm hospitality and a _very_ small stipend to cover basic expenses. We are in Keene, New Hampshire in the New England region- 2 hours from Boston, 4 hours from New York City, and in a relativley folkie, semi-rural area. Clean streets, low crime, nice people- If you're interested, email me thru Mudcat or let me know your email address and I'll get in touch with you! I'm the acting "mentor" of the ambassador- I'd love to have a folkie and fellow 'Catter around! Allison |

From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Well, sorry, you furrin' midwesterners, we have a principal with a prejudice- he only wants real, true furriners to larn us their ways! But you others- skarpi, are you listening? Spread the word- maybe you know someone who's looking for something new to do next year. It really is a fun year! Allison |
