This Week's Meeting Is All About Rotary Youth Exchange
I don't know how much you know about Rotary Youth Exchange, but this meeting will be a great chance for you to find out. Personally, I have hosted students from France, Brazil, Chile, Switzerland and Italy. Five with Rotary Youth Exchange and two with AFS. It is a very rewarding experience and you make lifelong friendships with both the students and their families. You don't have to be a family to host, single people can do it too, so can grandparents - as long as you are prepared to think young.
This week, we are hoping that PDG Susan Wakefield will speak to us about Youth Exchange. However, as she has not been very well, she will be assisted by
Katie Graham, who is a past exchange student and a member of the Youth Exchange Committee. So get your questions ready, it will be a great opportunity to learn more about Youth Exchange.
