Raluca Danci from Romania is among the 13 students currently in the midst of their year-long youth exchange year here in District 7850.  Raluca recently presented a full program to the Northfield Rotary Club, featuring a PowerPoint presentation and video highlighting her hometown, as well as items from her country to exhibit.  What made the evening especially fun was that her first host family, current host family and future host families were all present and helped to surprise her with a birthday cake to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday!  Her presentation was a fantastic demonstration of what we strive to achieve with the Youth Exchange program – cross-cultural understanding, sharing of experiences and a complete immersion into a new community.  Raluca is being sponsored by the Rotary Club of Central Vermont.
