Host an Exchange Student, a Great Opportunity

Last week Lee Burbank read parts of a powerful letter to Rotarian Kamlesh V.Raheja, the District Chairman - (2009-2010) Rotary Youth Exchange for District 3201 in India. The letter explained the reasons why J. S. Kaarthic, a young Indian, could not visit Jackson Wyoming for his Rotary sponsored exchange. Kaarthic was seriously injured in a very bad head-on automobile accident just before he was to travel to the U.S. A. in 2009. We need a Rotarian or two to step up to host the Youth Exchange this summer for a month. Kaarthic has recovered and is mobile enough to complete the youth exchange. Lee Burbank was to be the host in 2009, but, Lee is not in a position to be the host this year. Jackson Hole Rotary needs to find a host family for one month for Kaarthic. Please contact Lee or President T.R. if you would like to volunteer to host. The experience will be remembered for a lifetime and the friendships developed are wonderful. Volunteer as soon as possible so that the travel arrangements for Kaarthic can be completed.
