亲爱的NWSE社区:

As promised, NWSE is back and here to support you with more suggestions for fun activities. We also want to thank everyone who participated in our video and TikTok contest – we are reviewing all your great videos and will announce the winners shortly!

NWSE Tip: Students and host families can enjoy most of the activities we are suggesting in our newsletters together. Invite your host parents and siblings and make it a group activity!

Reply to this email and let us know which activity was your favorite this past week or send us your own cool finds! Also, post them to the NWSE Facebook页面 to share directly with the NWSE community.

Support 学生交流 during the COVID-19 Crisis

NorthWest 学生交流’s programs have been hit very hard by the coronavirus situation. We need your passion and generosity to support future exchanges and to help NWSE avert the full impact the coronavirus crisis will have on our programs.

We are asking the NWSE exchange community to 捐赠 to our NWSE GoFundMe campaign and support NWSE during this challenging time.

Your tax-deductible donation of any amount will ensure that life-changing friendships across borders, international understanding, 语言学习, and 文化交流 will continue for years to come as we emerge from these temporary worldwide challenges.

Please also share this opportunity to 捐赠 with your family, friends, networks, and community. No donation is too small.

All of us at NWSE and our future 交换学生s are grateful for your solidarity and generous support!
