Continued from Page 1
Grandma and Grandpa.
Kingsbury, the chairman of the Friendship
Foundation, and his wife ha\i> hosted internation
al students for six years They have shown stu
dents from Japan. Germany. Holland. Singapore.
Indonesia and Brazil around the Hugene area
Kingsbury, who lived in Brazil for six years, said.
I had an idea of what it was like to live in anoth
or country and how helpful it ran be to know
someone
Besides inviting them over for holiday dinners
to movies, or on hikes the Kingsbury s organize
events students normally wouldn't experience in
their home countries, like pumpkin i arving E very
Tuesday night Marcal had dinner with the King
bury s either at his house or theirs, and they try to
speak only Portuguese
It is sort of like breaking down the barriers
Kingsbury said The world is getting smaller so
we need to do that It's neat bet a use you bring the
world together in your house "
I really enjoy working yyitli international stu
dents." said Donna Hill, another Friendship Foun
dation volunteer "I travel a lot myself and ! think
it's interesting to meet people from other coun
tries."
During the past six years Hill has hosted five for
eign students; two from Nepal, two from Japan and
one from Taiwan She is single and lives alone and
believes her living situation gives international
students a different [x>rspe< tivo on hf« in the! 'nit

.1 lot to improi e the whole com muni tv Walsh
said
Kugene and its 1 iti/eiis have a jot to extend to
students who t hose to come here from other • min
tries In return, foreign students 1 an give the com
