Hosts needed: I have a number of students seeking to live with native English speakers on the east side of Cleveland i.e. Cleveland Heights, University Heights area while attending classes at ELS (English Language Services at Case Western). If you are interested or know of someone who is, please contact me. Homes must be on a bus line to campus and the fewer pets the better. Hosts receive $500/month to rent out a guest room and welcome students into their lives. It is much easier than it sounds and really a wonderful experience.

Our friend Doug Walton was interviewed on NPR about living with a Syrian Refugee who has now become like a brother to him. It's a beautiful but also sad story about a family praying to be reunited...http://www.npr.org/2017/01/05/508396928/as-a-syrian-refugee-in-toledo-pines-for-his-family-a-brotherhood-forms

Ok international friends in Cleveland, here's a question for you: what has been the best thing you've done here that you would recommend to new international students?

Hi International friends, we have a few American friends who have expressed interest in welcoming internationals to their Thanksgiving holiday. Contact us if you would like to do that next Thursday and we will connect you with a host. We think you'll enjoy it!!

So grateful to gather with an amazing group of people (both native Clevelanders and international students and families seeking medical treatment) for a picnic in the park. Many thanks to Mosab Alheliani for helping put this together. Many international friends did an amazing job serving as translators making this a meaningful gathering for all. Many thanks to all who took a risk to cross-cultural lines and participate. One gentleman who came to C-town seeking medical treatment for his daughter said, "I've been waiting for a gathering like this for a very long time." That made the whole evening (including weathering the cold wind) worth it!

Hey Arabic speaking friends. I'm planning a cross-cultural picnic this weekend across from Reserve Square to extend hospitality to many of the international families here for medical treatment residing in Reserve and Statler Arms. There will be free food and a few brief cultural presentations. I'm in need of a few more people who are fluent in Arabic and English to serve as interpreters since many of the older internationals do not speak English. If you would enjoy serving in this way, I'd be very grateful! Just let me know. The gathering is at 4:30pm on Saturday, but I would need you there by 4:00pm. شكرا!

Enjoying the Cleveland shuffle.
