Youth Exchange News

Welcome back Scott Durnin from Cech Republic and Welcome Pinja Orvasto from Finland! Best Wishes to Charles Olivier Godin-Blier on his exchange to Brazil!

 

In August we heard from Scott was a guest speaker for a club meeting telling us all about his year in Cech Republic.  He had a fantastic year and many stories to share.  His language skills were impressive and this was confirmed by Otto and Sue's friends from Moravia, Cech Republic whom Scott had dinner with.  Pinja is settling into her host family the Godin-Blier's and has signed up for the Field Hockey Team.  On the weekend of September 9, 10, 11 she had her first orientation to Rotary Youth Exchange.  She met the other 11 exchange students in our district and 4 from New Jersey.  Pinja will be visiting us club for the first time on Sept. 27.  

 

Charles so far is having a great experience in Brazil.  He has a wonderful host family and many friends.  We look forward to hearing more from him.
