Rotary Club Of Wawa Inbound Student Has Arrived!

The Rotary Club of Wawa is very happy to announce that Gregoire Mazal from France arrived in Wawa on August 26, 2017 to start his year at École St. Joseph here in Wawa. Gregoire is classified as an ‘inbound’ student and he joins hundreds of high school students who come into Canada and the United States for approximately one year – learning the language and the culture and sharing theirs with their new found friends and ‘families’. Wawa is not unfamiliar with hosting exchange students as we have been doing so for many decades, beginning in 1978. Over the years we have hosted many students and our many of our young people have travelled to distant, foreign lands. Gregoire has been enjoying his first few weeks with his host family, learning to fish and hunt, and also having attended a conference held for ‘inbounds’ in Michigan. Gregoire will be staying with his current host family until after the Christmas break at which time he will move in with his 2nd host family for three months. He will then move in with his third and final host family for another

three (3) months and then the year will be over. I am sure that Gregoire is anticipating a great year here in Wawa and if you happen to see him on the street give him an enthusiastic ‘hello’ and a big ‘welcome’! It takes some effort to become an exchange student beginning with an application, followed up by an interview with local Rotary members, and another by Rotary International, and medical and dental appointments. Students must be considered ‘good’ students with an awareness of world news and issues. They must be confi-

dent in their ability to leave home and go somewhere completely foreign to them for a full year, and they must be mature enough to exercise good judgement and obey rules set by Rotary and by the various host families.   The Wawa Rotary Club is now looking for interested young people who may wish to go to another country in 2018. There are posters up at the high schools, and we encourage anyone between the ages of 15 and 18 to call Bev Boyd at (705) 852-1221 or speak to their principal or guidance counsellor if they think this program might be

for them. The application deadline is September 30, so there isn’t time to waste if you are at all interested.
