Any spare beds?

Got a phone call this evening. Would we be prepared to take in two delegates from Burkina Faso, small African country on the west coast, attending the Glasgow climate conference?
 
They would arrive on Sunday, stay for two weeks, and by the way they only speak French. We are thinking about it…
 
Around 30,000 delegates are descending this weekend on Glasgow and there is a desperate shortage of accommodation, especially free, for those coming from poor countries.
 
Cruise ships have been hired to take some. AirBnB are offering eye watering sums to folk prepared to take them. There was a woman on television tonight  from Glasgow   offering  her spare double bed to two delegates from  opposite continents who had not yet  met each other.
