Kachchhi Oswal Jain Association of North America (KOJAIN) |
| KOJAIN has formed a host family network
in North America, whereby Kachchhi Students coming from India for higher
studies here can spend a few days and get themselves acclimatized before
joining their institution of higher learning and also feel connected
with the Kachchhi community here. This also should go a long way in
helping them overcome their homesickness that some of them experience
here. The host families may also host Kachchhi Youths born and/or raised in the U.S., who are visiting other states for college search, job hunting or even for recreational purposes and desiring room and board on a very temporary basis(2 to 3 days). This should serve dual purpose: our youths will have a place to stay and both parties will have a chance to develop acquaintance. The host family will be a good source for information about the local area. Also, Kutchhi students coming to U.S.A. for further studies can get much-needed emotional support from the host families if they are going to school in that area. Would you consider joining this program? We need host families all over the United States and Canada. (Those who are located within a reasonable distance of colleges and universities and/ or within a reasonable distance of the airports may be of particular importance for accommodating the incoming Kachchhi students from India.) If you agree to join the program with us, please let Dami Rambhia, Vimla Chheda or Hans Maru know about your willingness at the email address/ phone numbers shown below. We will need following details about you if you join the program: Name, Address, Phone Number, Email address, Village in Kachchh, Name/s and birth year of your children Those in support of this program may please visit us at www.kojain.com/welcome.htm This is our KOJAIN's website for all information exchange. We will post an updated list of all host families on this website. (A partial list of our host families is attached for your information.) This Host program will benefit our youth in meeting other youths in other parts of the country and will enable them to start developing their own network. The participating host family's convenience to accommodate the youth at the requested time will be the primary consideration. The host family can decline if the timing is not suitable for hosting a student or for any other reason. KOJAIN disclaims any responsibility, legal or otherwise, arising out of this program.
