I am writing with the good news that I have been accepted into the NGSE (Rotary's New Generations Service Exchange) program (supported without financial aid by the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown) and I have an internship confirmed in Tours, France (District 1720). I would like to thank the Rotary Club of Calgary Downtown for their support; without their sponsorship I would not be able to participate in this amazing opportunity. I would also like to share some context about what exactly I will be doing during this exchange.
The program will begin on May 5th. I am staying with the President, Gérard Chambon, of the Rotary Club in Tours, and his wife. During the first week of my stay I will be working in wills and estates, the second week will focus on family and criminal matters, and the third week will be in real estate law. I am excited to experience such a wide breadth of practice, especially since one of my career goals is to practice law in Europe.
Upon my return to Canada I will reach out to set a date to present my experience at one of your club meetings, as required by the NGSE program.
