February 13-15,=2013, eight  college students from New Asia College in Hong Kong will be visiting Washington=span class="280360617-05122011">, D.C. This exchange program=is an outgrowth of the longstanding relationship between Yale and New Asia=which have both sponsored many faculty, graduate, and postgraduate exchang=s over the years. The program is soliciting volunteer  families to host students during their tim= in Washington. The students are between 19-21 years of age and speak=English. The role of host families will be to pick up and deliver the stud=nts to assembly areas for group tours and other events, and to provide housing and dinner for t=o days. An orientation session will be held prior to the students' arrival.
