AN organisation that helps foreign students study in the UK is looking for host families to volunteer for the coming year.

Afet, from Turkey, is arriving in the UK at the end of August to embark on a secondary school exchange programme.

She is 15-years-old and enjoys the outdoors. She likes going camping and doing outdoor sports.

She is a very active girl and also goes climbing, orienteering, skiing and scuba diving. She loves to listen to music and has played the piano for five years. Afet is keen to learn more about the British culture and to teach people in the UK about her own country and culture.

Now AFS - the charity which runs the programme - needs volunteer host families from Warrington interested in welcoming her into their home and making her feel like a member of the family.

Families, couples or individuals interested in helping should contact Helen, Mike or Fred at AFS by emailing uk.hosting@afs.org or calling 0113 242 6136.
