We are looking for a volunteer host for a Professional Fellow (male, 33) from Tirana, Albania for a short period alone between April 13 and 17, 2018 , before the rest of the fellows arrive from Europe, when he will also join to the rest in a hotel. We hope to place him with a host family who is interested to spend a little time on these 3-4 days to show him Toledo and assist him with some help with transportation for 1-2 professional meetings.
Guests need to have a separate bedroom, but they can share a bath with other members of the family.
Host families are volunteers, they do not receive any financial compensation, but they will build friendships for a life-time with international guests, and will be invited to different project related joint multicultural programs.Orientation will be provided before the guest arrive.
