This last four weeks have been a feast of exchange reunions, farewells, hellos and how are you's. Jette came from Denmark on a visit to former Host Parents, bringing her own daughter. Natalie is into the second half of her exchange in Brazil. Sarah went back to the USA to Michigan with tears and laughs. Sometime in the future she will be back, after she graduates from High School in June 2009 and completes the Dentistry course she wants to do. Izabel Johansson has just arrived from Sweden and gave her first presentation to the club, including a short lesson in spoken Swedish and an up-roariously funny demonstration of mid-Summer rituals. Laura Ferguson will leave Oz and go to Canada in January next year. The District she will be hosted by is on the west coast and extends around Vancouver and into the USA, so she will have a memorable exchange in two countries at once!! The Club has a long long long history of supporting Rotary Youth Exchange. Friendships and bonds of affection and respect spread across the globe and over many years as we have these young people with us in our families for an entire year.
