Thanksgiving is a time of year when people gather together to celebrate with family, friends, and express their appreciation and love for one another.For international WK alumni studying in the US, and as some of you might remember, it can be a time of increased homesickness, as campuses become empty and deserted places with classmates and roommates returning home.The Waterford Kamhlaba Advancement Office would again like to extend the spirit of Thanksgiving to this group of students by inviting WK alumni and parents, living in the US to open up their homes and welcome one or two guests, who are young alumni in university or college in the area, to come and enjoy this year's Thanksgiving with their friends and family. Should you be interested in hosting these students please send an email to 'Lwazi at alumni.engagement@waterford.sz including your location and how many you could possibly take. If you are an alum who would like to be hosted by WKUWCSA alumni in your area, please contact Lwazi at alumni.engagement@waterford.sz For any comments or questions you may have, please contact Lwazi Ngwenyama at alumni.engagement@waterford.sz
