Plus you have to pay for your own food and transportation in the city.
There will be financial support by the International Office. The amount depends on how many people are going. We need to know NOW if you are interested in going, so please reply back to this email ASAP so that we can start booking the hostel, and the train tickets. You have till February 12th at noon to email back. After 12pm, we will not book for extras in the trip. FYI - this is for INTERNATIONAL students.
2) "Tastes of the World" event - MARCH 2
As Vaskar said from his previous email, AIS will be hosting an event called "Tastes of the world" where everyone comes to cook there, serve and eat together. This is great opportunity to meet the Charleston community and the students as well. We are currently looking for volunteers on who want to cook for the event. Additionally, AIS and OISS will help in providing you the ingredients you need if you were to cook for the event. It's a great experience to share your country's traditional food. We would HIGHLY recommend that you should participate, as it would be a fun experience for you to cook with your friends, and help serve the locals here in town. Please email us your name and food you are planning to cook, and whether you need assistance in providing the ingredients.
NOTE: We would to thank you all for these trips, and we look forward to seeing you in attendance. It is important, however, that you all understand that these trips are intended for International Students. The trip is funded using funds supplied by International students and therefore the funds can only be used for International students. If you are not an International student and you will like to join us, we welcome you but please make note that you will have to pay for the trip on your own.
