However, I think that I especially need to thank Rotary, at its many levels. If it weren't for Rotary International as a whole, the Rotary Youth Exchange Program would not exist.
My sponsoring Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Moorleigh Bentleigh East. For first of all, taking the first steps into making my exchange dream a reality, by accepting me as your sponsored student. After this point, you have provided me with support in so many different ways to mske this possible. To President Philip and his wife Carol, and all of the Members of MBE Rotary. ~THANKYOU~ And also to my counsellor, Lynette for your support.
To the District Youth Exchange Committe, District 9810, Melbourne, Australia (that's how our little introduction goes isnt it?). All of the work that you do in preparing all of the exchange students, inbounds and outbounds, giving us all the information we could possibly need to best prepare us, and our families, for the fantastic year to come...you do a great job! ~THANKYOU~ But at this point, I would like to send a special thankyou to Uldis, the District Co-ordinator for Germany, for all the extra things that you always did just to make us feel more comfortable, and happy...I always know that you are there for support. And all your extra organising you did for me.
In Germany, I would like to thank my hosting Rotary Club, The Rotary Club of Marburg. Especially the Youth Co-ordinator, Herbert, for that lovely phonecall letting me know I was coming to Marburg!!! And for all the background work you have done to make sure that everything is okay, and the extra work you did to make things a lot easier for me. To my counsellor, Jürgen, thankyou also, it was so nice to have such a friendly person meet me at the airport and be in contact over email with (Get better soon). ~THANKYOU~
The Rotary Club of Bad Homburg, thankyou for your extra support and making the Euro Tour possible. It is very much appreciated.
To the Youth Exchange Committee in District 1820, Germany. Thankyou for everything you have organised for us exchange students.
Of course I could not go without thanking Rotex! You guys are great and have given us support here and organised great events for us. You know and understand what we are experiencing.
When I say thankyou to my family...I can not forget my host families as well. For taking me into your home and making me a part of your family, THANKYOU!!!
My many thanks goes out to everyone!!!
Yours sincerely,
