"When I came here The Big Howdy people picked me up from the airport and they brought me to my apartment, and they were really helpful because I had no friends here.
I was so confused when I landed here because I knew nothing about the USA and the culture. I am so thankful to The Big Howdy Organization."

“The Big Howdy arranged airport pickup for me. I was by myself and I was worried how would I would manage everything, but because of their help, it was really convenient for me to get around.
They showed me Walmart, and Bombay Bazaar where I can get Indian food and many more things. So it was really good meeting them.”

“The Big Howdy team picked me up from the airport and organized a lot of events for me to attend. I loved the Big Howdy party because I was blessed to meet a wide range of cultures and we got the opportunity to have nice food.
The people here are very friendly and very helpful. The good network you get is really helpful with my future.”

“The Big Howdy is such a helpful organization to new international students like me. They came to pick me up from the airport, and they took us to get groceries and they gave us free furniture too. They made us feel the warmth of Texas. We are so thankful for Big Howdy!”
