The Rotary Club of Brighton's inbound Youth Exchange Student Iita from Finland arrived in Canada on August 13. She attended the regular Rotary meeting at Frank's Corner Grill with the club on Wednesday morning. Iita will be here for the year, going to ENSS. She will return home next July.
The Club's outbound student Elena leaves August 18th to go live and study in Belgium for the year.
These brave and adventurous students leave their homes to go on a year long exchange in another country. They live with several host families in the country they go to in order to immerse themselves in the new culture. They attend high school regularly, learn the language and make new friends.
