HOST families are needed in the Ringwood area to give youngsters a home for the summer holidays.

Growing numbers of students are attending the summer school at Ringwood’s Waldorf School between July 16 and August 4.

This year the school expects up to 60 young visitors.

The summer school holds an intensive arts programme and is open to local children in the mornings who can then participate in afternoon activities with the foreign students.

Host families will be paid for providing a home to the children attending the summer school.

Anyone interested should contact Fee Van Gent on 07591 179803 or email fee-van-gent@gmx.net for more information.
