Volunteering as a Befriender
Do you have a couple of hours a week to spare to befriend someone affected by autism? Volunteer befrienders do not have to be 'experts' in autism. The National Autistic Society is looking for people who are friendly, reliable, willing to learn, and sensitive to the needs of others. They will provide initial and ongoing training and support and pay travel expenses too. Befrienders can be matched with a child, teenage or adult affected by autism, or could spend time with others in the family - brothers, sisters, mum or dad. If you are interested or would just like to find out more then please follow the link:

Etudiants du Monde is a French non-profit association, whose aim and ambition
is to open the doors of the world's cultures to young people. If you are
a schoolboy, a schoolgirl or a student, then our association can propose
you pen-friends who are the same age as you, in the countries of your choice.
Then, you will be able to discover new cultures, exchange ideas, stamps,
postcards, improve your knowledge of a foreign language, and why not decide
later to travel there? But above all, you will enjoy having friends in various
parts of the world.
