EXCHANGE WANTED -.I’m Freya Christmann,15 years old and I’m living together with my brother and parents in an anthroposophical community with about 80 adults and 30 children in the countryside in the north of Germany (100 km from Hamburg, 45 km from Lüneburg).Together with about 15 other pupils I am visiting the FreeWaldorfSchool in Hitzacker which is a small town nearby.
The youngsters in the village share a lot of activities together, such as theatre playing, bicycle tours and one-wheel-bike driving, table-tennis, badminton, making music (I’m playing cello) and choir singing or trips to the cinema and to Lüneburg.
You could have your own room at our house, we could both visit the school and could swap after maybe one or two terms.Twice a month my father is spending the weekend in Berlin, where we could join him, and get to know Berlin as well. If you are interested, you can also write so we could get to know each other, my address is: Freya Christmann, Im Dorfe 2, 29490 Sammatz.
EXCHANGE WANTED - We are a German speaking family from Bozen/South Tyrol/Italy in search of an exchange student. Our 17 years old son Fabian, who is attending the 10th grade of Rudolf Steiner school would like to go to a Rudolf Steiner school abroad for two months next year (if possible January and February 2009).We are living in a village near to Bozen.. The district has one of the most wonderful landscapes, where you can find two lakes: the lake of Montiggl and the lake of Kaltern and many worth seeing castles. As an exchange student you have many possibilities to do in your free time and you can especially get to know the German and Italian culture. Other cities like Verona in Italy or Innsbruck in Austria are easy to reach within one hour. Even Venice is not far away and suited for a journey.
We would like to find a host family for our son and it would also be a pleasure for us to welcome a student for the same amount of time from your school. Please tell us, if there is the possibility for such an exchange. We look forward to your answer. Karin & Wolfgang Meraner
HONEY FOR SALE – New harvest “white” honey £3.50 per jar. See Karin in the office.
HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION - We are two families and our children go to the RudolfSteinerSchool in Dusseldorf/Germany. This summer, our sons Julian (age 16) and Christopher (age 15) would like to visit Edinburgh for one week or 10 days. They both are nice and responsible boys and we trust them to travel on their own. Is there a family at your school that would accommodate our boys against payment any time during the month of July or beginning of August? We are looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much for your help. Contact inken.kubitza-loy@gmx.de
