The Wells Public Library will hold 45-minute computer training sessions for those with little or no experience with the Internet and computer card catalog. Introdutory classes on the use of the Internet are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 18 at 3 p.m., Monday, Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. Preschool programs are held weekly and pre-registration is not required. Local Representative Needed World Heritage, a non-profit student exchange program, is seeking local area representatives to volunteer their time and skill s to provide students from several countries including Germany, France, Mexico and the former Soviet Union countries, with local program support. Local Representatives plan an annual student orientation, meet with the local high schools, provide support counseling for participants, screen potential host families, and meet with the exchange students on a monthly basis.
Representatives also attend an annual training workshop and report to the regional coordinator.
The ideal candidate should enjoy fostering new international friendships, be community minded, and enjoy working with teenagers and adults. Local Representatives spend an average of 2-4 hours a month with the exchange students, and time and expenses are reimbursed by the organization. On Nov. 22 there will be no school for students, and teachers from Ogunquit Village School, Wells High School and Wells Junior High School will hold their workshop sessions. If parents or guardians are unable to make an appointment on the allotted days, they are encouraged to make other arrangements to speak with their children's teachers. Teachers firmly believe that education is a partnership between teachers, students and parents.
