4) Hosts for the AISA Home-Buddy Program Winter Semester 2019
The Association of Indian Students in Aachen (AISA) is looking for dedicated students to support the new incomers with a temporary place to stay. It’s an amazing opportunity for the people staying in Aachen to become one of the hosts for the students arriving in August/September to start their winter semester at RWTH Aachen/ FH Aachen. As we all know how difficult it was to find accommodation in our early days in Aachen, let's mitigate this for the incoming students. This is, of course, only a temporary provision, aimed at helping students as they set foot in Aachen and look for long term accommodation. Join The Home-Buddy Program as hosts, spread some goodwill and make the new students feel most welcome in Deutschland!
Moreover, the Home-Buddy Program counts as a component of the RWTH Certificate International.
Please fill the google doc provided below and you will find more details about the Home-Buddy program enclosed.

The play - "Annapurna" by Sharr White :
Ever since they left, Emma desperately tries to keep her ex-husband Ulysses out of her and their son’s lives. Now, after their son discovered a long hidden secret, Emma must reluctantly track Ulysses down.
