Wilshire Rotary's Dynamic Speaker Series Presents
Gaby Sumpter
Youth Exchange
International Studies in Spain
Rotary Youth Exchange is the opportunity of a lifetime for the more than 8,000 students who participate each year.
Gaby recently returned from spending her junior year on exchange in Santander, Spain where she was able to emerge herself by learning and living the culture, make lasting relationships and traveling to ten other European countries with other Rotary exchange students. Gaby often refers to her experience on exchange as a year she will never forget and encourages everyone, no matter what age to spend time away from their home country and culture. She is very grateful to Wilshire Rotary Club for sponsoring her exchange.
