Billeting of Vanderbilt University Students - March
When? From March 3rd to 10th, 12 students from Vanderbilt Univer-sity will be working with "Dans la Rue" as part of their Alter-native Spring Break programme.
Where? Billeting in your home for these students would be appreci-ated. We will also look to host a small reception following worship for these 12 visitors on Sunday March 4th
What? Vanderbilt University is close to Nashville Tennessee and the Alternative Spring Break is a student-run community service organisation promoting critical thinking, social action, and community involvement on local, regional, national and in-ternational levels. This programme sends over 450 volun-teers to 37 different sites during Spring break.
Why? As Dans la Rue is one of our charitable partners and we are passionate about sharing community involvement and how new initiatives can be of help, this would be a great oppor-tunity to learn from others
Your help Please let us know if you can billet any of the students for the March 3-10th period.
