About us<\/h3>\n

What is Friends for Dinner?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Friends for Dinner<\/strong> is a collaboration between local churches and Christian student organizations to connect friendly Germans with international students in order to show them hospitality and build friendships.<\/p>\n

We understand that international students coming to Germany will have many new and exciting experiences as they study and live in a new culture. Yet leaving home to live in a foreign country can also leave them feeling disoriented, lonely and homesick. That's why we as Friends for Dinner want to make it easier to connect with local hosts and thus help to ease the way into this new culture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
