Host families needed … help spread the word! .gif) Skaneateles has a remarkable history of sending students around the world and receiving students from around the world. In 2018-19, the Skaneateles Rotary Club will send four students around the globe (to Japan, Paraguay, Taiwan and Austria). In exchange, we will welcome two exchange students to our community, our high school and our homes. Tymoteusz Juncewicz will come from Poland and Gahyeon Han will come from South Korea. We need your help! Can you host? Would you like to know more? Or do you know someone who might want to know more? We need three families for each student. (Exchange students experience three families during their year abroad). Since 1996, the Skaneateles Rotary Club has welcomed 79 in-bound Rotary Youth Exchange students and has sent 105 out-bound students. We need help because it has become harder to find host families in recent years. To learn more, ask any member of our Youth Exchange Committee: Gard Lorey (727-5461), Karen Price, Dale Drake, Jim McQuiggan, Lori Ruhlman (729-2831).
We are all committed to this program because we sent our children abroad. We also have all hosted (multiple times) and have found the experience enriching -- and well worth the modifications that must be made for the short time period. We now have "children" all around the world! |
