Welcome Back Saskia!!
Saskia Vasey was our outgoing exchange student for the last year and spent her time in Belgium hosted by local Rotarians and attending school there. She was soon immersed in a very different culture, language and basic personal values that will affect her outlook on life forever. This very personable young lady also enjoyed meeting other Rotary exchange students from various parts of the world and in addition to the family that had hosted her mother as a student. She was able to travel across Belgium and visit other parts of Europe as part of the program including Brittany, Barcelona and Budapest. Saskia's thirst for knowledge and adventure saw her participating in an ornithology program in Ontario since her return to Canada and currently is in the process of training to run ultra marathons in Botswana.
In Saskia's words: “I arrived home on June 29th. When I have time, I will try to write a more detailed conclusion of my exchange. En bref, it was the most transformative moment in my life, opening my spirit and perspective. I will miss everyone I met and the life I created in the arms of my small Belgian village. Yet I am also very glad to be back.”
Saskia has a well-written blog which can be found at http://travellingtwins.wordpress.com.
