What did Rotary Exchange give them?
They are both more open to new opportunities and have a desire to change things for the better. The year was a big step and a big change in their lives that they are both so thankful. They have both promoted Rotary exchange in their communities. Now they say "Yes" to new things.
Both really hope to return to Canada some day.
