Youth Exchange Student

Posted by Barbara LaSpesa

Our club is sponsoring a Rotary Youth Exchange student from East Leyden High School. Her name is Denise Paarlberg and she has been assigned to a family and school in the Czech Republic.

She visited our club on August 19th and presented a short video of where her first host family lives. It's a little town (under 2500 people) and she was excited to go there especially since they speak English. Her host family has two older boys and their girl is a youth exchange student going to Brazil. Denise just sent us the following email:

Just letting you know I arrived in Hukvaldy, Czech Republic! My host family is so amazingly welcoming, and I cannot WAIT to learn how to be Czech.

Thank you so much for your support.

Brzy na shledanou! (see you soon!)
