Listening to the various accents as campers arrived at Rex Lake, it was evident that something different was up.   We heard excellent levels of English and observed a couple of students who had some difficulty understanding explanations.  Smiles and open minds set the tone for our newly arrived exchange students.  The District 6630 conducted RYE Orientation at Akron Rotary Camp for this year’s Inbound students who hailed from various countries:  Kaho Mochizuhi (Japan), Justine Altmeyer-Wagner (France), Jermán León (Chile), Antonella Ramos (Peru), Ben Reidel (Germany), Supahakrit Disthaphongphakdee (Thailand) and Gabriel Mendes (Brazil), who was unfortunately absent because of chickenpox.  Participating clubs sent their youth exchange officers and counselors for training.  District 6630 clubs hosting this year include Lakewood for Justine and Kaho, Chardon for Jermán, Mantua for Antonella, Medina for Ben, Garrettsville for Supahakrit (or Art) and Akron for Gabriel (going to school in Stow).  What a wonderful group of young people!!  Words we would use to describe our RYE students: friendly, caring, eager to get to know you, energetic, engaging, smart and fun-loving. Host families also participated the second day to better understand Rotary’s rules and regulations and to get to know the entire group of international students.
