AFS INTERCULTURE CANADA LAUNCHES HOSTING CAMPAIGN 1996
------------------------------------------------------------
Canadian volunteers from coast to coast have recently
launched the family finding campaign in their respective
communities. They are looking for families to host the
hundreds of 15- to 18-year-old students who will be arriving
this summer to spend the school year with them. Canadian
families will not be paid to host these students. The goal
is to complete the recruitment of host families before the
end of the school year, or before June 30th.

The XI International Conference on AIDS will take place from
July 7-12 in Vancouver. Conference organizers have begun to
design the skills building sessions for NGO/PWA delegates.
They are seeking potential facilitators - international and

the conference - either privately funded or on a conference
scholarship - are especially encouraged to work with them on
this program.
So far they have determined that there will be:
* Four concurrent sessions per day from 1330-1700 for four
days(July 8-11).
* One international and one local facilitator per session.
* Three client streams - managers, programmers, trainers.
* Three skill streams - assessment, design and
implementation, evaluation.
