Rotary Exchange students  share stories of home and home away from home
Rotary Youth Exchange students Yasmine Frischnecht (from Switzerland) and Jonas Senez-Lajeune (from France) shared stories of their lives at home and their experiences as Rotary Youth Exchange students.
 
Rotary Exchange students spend one year living in another country, usually with three or four host families. They learn a new way of living, experience different foods, study different subjects, enjoy a new culture and maybe even learn a new language. In addition learn a great deal about themselves and gain confidence and self sufficiency.  
 
They are ambassadors of their country, and have the opportunity to teach people they meet about their home, culture, and ideas.

Supporting Cambridge Food Bank

It could happen to any one of us . . . food insecurity . . .   "the condition of not having access to sufficient food or food of adequate quality to meet one's basic needs.  It sounds like it shouldn't happen in a G7 country like Canada,  but with higher interest rates impacting mortgages and car loans, and the cost of food rising, it's hard for many people to make ends meet. 

As a local service club, Rotary Cambridge Sunset wanted to hear firsthand from Cambridge Food Bank Executive Director Dianne McLeod and invited her to join us at our meeting.

She shared that a recent 2022 Hunger Report showed that even people who are employed full time, as the primary income in a household, make up 8.5 per cent of food bank users.  A further 10.8 per cent are employed part time.
