A Year with Leti

Leticia Emilio is our Exchange Student from Argentina.

Just a short year ago Leti arrived at the Prince George Airport from her home in Argentina, a shy young girl.

During this past year, Leti has led a very active lifestyle, jam packed with excitement and activity both with Rotary functions and friends.

Leti has been an an active and successful student during these past months too.

Leti started her exchange attending the Tweedsmuir Trek along with fellow Exchange Students, where they enjoyed the camping, boating, fishing, swimming and really getting to know each other.  Leti caught her fist Canadian Fish during this trip, and a memorable fish at that.

Leti has had the opportunity to visit most parts of British Columbia and Vancouver Island during her exchange, as well as to visit Edmonton, Alberta.

Leti experienced the Prince George Polar Bear swim at Ness Lake, skiing at Purden and Otway and Whistler.

Ice skating and hiking, with both summer and winter treks to key locations.

Leti will be returning to her home in Argentina on Wednesday July 30th.  She has only been here a year but has touched the lives of everyone she has known in Prince George during this exchange.

Thank you for being a great Exchange Student with the Nechako Rotary Club and an excellent Ambassador to your country of Argentina.

We truly wish you well during your return to school in Argentina and that you will find the opportunity to come back to Canada and visit us again.

Rotarian Cheryl Voyt thanked Leti for her presentation on her travels and experiences during this past year, with another donation to our Rotary Polio Plus Program.
