Cornelia has reported that the dates of Open World, which involves us hosting a team of professionals from Indonesia, has been changed to October 13-21. She emailed: Note that the Open World program requires we supply delegates with a private bedroom and a bed. A floor sleeping bag or a shared bedroom won’t do. The bathroom, however, may be shared. We have also been asked if we can provide pet-free homes for the Muslim delegates. That might be the biggest factor in making placements. If you do have a pet but they could be kept outside or offsite during the homestay period please let me know that, too. I’ll also supply some guidelines around halal cooking—more to come on food later. Once I have hosts signed up, I’ll switch to What’s App to communicate with all hosts at the same time. Let me know if you have questions. And thank you for your peace-building efforts and international service! ❤ |
