people to take this step and allow them to enjoy another culture first hand by joining the many students who take up this program each year.
Countries to visit include USA, Canada, UK, Scandinavia, Europe, Brazil, Japan and New Zealand. These programs are over the Christmas school holiday period.
The program also allows people in our communities to have the pleasure of hosting a student from these countries in the period July to August.
This year five students from our district took the opportunity to travel overseas. Alice Engstrom from Echuca chose the Netherlands and Belguim, Jessica Cail from Rochester to Canada, Coby Ferguson from Yarrawonga to Germany, Hayley Prigg from Rochester to Brazil and Georgia Ginnivan from Wodonga to Canada.
These young ladies, with their parents, attended an orientation day at Wangaratta in October and learnt all the requirements of the program and I am sure like previous years we will have five wonderful ambassadors for their parents, country and Lions who will return with some wonderful stories of their experiences.
Give some young person in your area the opportunity to experience
another culture.
TRY IT – YOU WILL LIKE IT.

to encourage young
