International Student ExchangeOne of our club’s most rewarding achievements has been the support of inbound and outbound exchange students through Rotary International’s Youth Exchange program. http://rotary.org/en/StudentsAndYouth/YouthPrograms/RotaryYouthExchange/Pages/ridefault.aspx. Typically a high school age student will spend a year living and studying in another country. They learn a new way of living, a great deal about themselves, and maybe even a new language. They are ambassadors, teaching people they meet about their country, culture, and ideas. They help bring the world closer – and make some good friends in the process. All of this at virtually no cost to the student! Our club has sent students to Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan, and other countries. With the help of many Taos families, we have hosted students from Denmark, Venezuela, Taiwan, Brazil, Belgium, and other countries. If you are a high school age student and interested in studying abroad, contact Kellie Evans Rivera (evanskellie@hotmail.com) or Keith King (kmi@newmex.com). |
