As an exchange
student, you’re job is to be a goodwill ambassador representing
Rotary, District 6690, and the US. People here in the US will judge our
program on your behavior, and the people
you touch overseas will literally get
their strongest perception about the US from you (good or bad…). Part of
being an effective goodwill ambassador is to be prepared, and
because of that, the following learning requirements are mandatory
parts of the program.
In
addition to the above papers, after you get your country match up,
you’ll also need to translate the letter that was in your application
to your new host language. Please email it to Kathy (ST) or Walter
(LT). 
After you have
been accepted in to the program (after the district interviews)
you’ll need to get in touch with your sponsoring Rotary club to setup
a time in April / May for you to do a 20 minutes Power Point
presentation. I’ll give you more information about that later. Most
clubs fill up their programs quickly, so get in touch with them
right away after you are accepted.
