2003-2004 Hamilton exchange students went to Brazil and Chile. |
| Since 1927, students and host families all over the world
have had their horizons broadened and their lives enriched by the generosity
of Rotary's Youth Exchange program. Administered by Rotary clubs, districts
and multidistrict groups, the program today involves more than 82 countries
and over 8,000 students each year. Our club sponsors a homestay exchange each year where we send one or two local students to live with another family abroad. We also welcome one or two students from abroad to live with local families in the Hamilton area. Sometimes it works out that students actually switch families with each other. This is a wonderful way for young people to introduce themselves to a new culture by being a part of a new way of life. This experience is both a challenge and an opportunity for both the host family and the exchange student. It promises to be an unforgettable year and a wonderful way to learn about the world. |
