Spouses group

The Episcopal/Anglican Campus Ministry sponsors a weekly gathering for spouses of international students. This gathering is a place to meet other spouses, to talk about life in Atlanta, to receive information and ask questions, and to practice English in a supportive setting. Those who speak no English are particularly invited. Babies and children are welcome. Light refreshments are served.

The spouses' gathering is led by Christina Dondero. Christina grew up in Thailand and speaks Thai and Chinese. She has lived in Africa and Asia for many years with her husband and five children. Christina is able to offer friendship and practical help as the leader of the group. She is respectful of different cultures and peoples, and she creates an atmosphere of acceptance and support for the spouses of international students. If you are interested, call Christina at 404-918-7248 or e-mail her at christinadondero@bellsouth.net

International Spouses Group: weekly meeting every Tuesday, 10am - 11:30am at the University Catholic Center, 1753 North Decatur Road. Spouses of all faiths are welcome. This is not a religious meeting. The spouses' gathering is an informal small group in which strangers become friends and all bring the richness of their own culture.

Friends Among Nations: This group meets with ladies twice a month for cooking and craft parties, day trips, and other activities. The group also has an English program. Contact Adria Williams at 404-376-2249 or visit www.fanatlanta.org for more information.
