Crossing two continents and traveling over 5,000 miles from his home in Brazil to enroll as a full time student at Aurora High School, Henrique Rossi Soares smiled and said, "The best part about being a Rotary Youth Exchange Student is not just the goals we wish to achieve but the journey we take to get there together."
Henrique was one of a dozen adventuresome Northeast Ohio students attending Rotary Youth Exchange Inbound/Outbound overnight training and outbound interviews at the Akron Rotary Camp this past weekend hosted by Rotary counselors, parents, youth exchange officers and RYE chairpersons from Districts 6600 and 6630. This continuing education was also a fun and welcome workshop for students and all those involved in the Rotary Youth Exchange program as a lead up to the holiday season.
