Would you be interested in hosting virtual dinner hospitality? It is still a unique opportunity to connect with fascinating individuals from another country to have a relaxed dialogue and an authentic sharing of two worlds. We have been really amazed at how connected you can become in conversation with people who sometimes barely speak English. You don’t have to have something significant to discuss, just ask about their families, jobs and lives and you could talk all nigh...t. You do not need to have a showplace and a chef-quality meal at all. Keep it casual, simple, warm and people just want to be open and talk and talk. We now have email ‘pals’ and are really enjoying this whole concept. What a life-enriching and really fun thing to do! - Longtime GCIV member and dinner hospitality host Bethany Lane https://gciv.org/programs/dinner-hospitality/
