Our director of Youth Matters, John Clue, has recently received an update from our Rotary Exchange student, Lisa van Someren, who is now into the third month of her exchange program in Ontario Canada. See Read More for Lisa's report.
Hi John,
The weekend before last, I went snowboarding again. I’m getting pretty good at it now and I really enjoy it.
On the Monday (the 20th) it was Family Day. Family Day is a Canadian public holiday were people get the day off to spend with their families. I went snowboarding and tubbing with my family. Tubbing was really fun but there were so so many people there which was annoying.
Last weekend I went and stayed at a friend’s place. It was so much fun. We went shopping and got our nails done at a salon. And I also got to meet some of her other friends.
On Sunday it was Country Announcement Day. This was where all the Canadian outbounds exchange students found out what country they will be going to. My friend is going to Peru which is exciting. There is one boy who is going to Australia so I spent a bit of time talking to him about the country. He has no idea where in Australia he is going yet.
I go to the Woodstock Rotary Club meetings every week. This week I did a little talk about what I’ve been doing lately. At every meeting they have a different speaker. This makes the meetings a bit more interesting. The speakers talk about their different projects and things hoping that the club might like to support or help them in some way. This week’s speaker talked about a free online reading for communities.

We are driving down so it will take about two days to get there. We leave on the 10th of March and return on the 19th of March. I can’t wait for the trip. It is going to be so much fun! We have rented out a house about a block from the beach so we can walk down and spend as much time there as we like at the beach.
I think that is about all for now.
Regards, Lisa
