The LMT Resource Circle team is recommending 'Friends for Dinner'. The following review was taken from online vendors:
"Friends for Dinner is a collaboration between local churches and Christian student organizations to connect friendly Canadians with international students in order to show them hospitality and build friendships.
We understand that international students coming to Canada will have many new and exciting experiences as they study and live in a new culture. Yet leaving home to live in a foreign country can also leave them feeling disoriented, lonely and homesick.
In 2012, a small team of volunteers in Ottawa came together with a vision to help church families befriend international students at local colleges and universities by inviting them into their homes during the traditional holidays of Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Since then, Friends for Dinner has hosted hundreds of international students and has spread to other cities in Ontario and across Canada."
