MY FIRST TRIP TO THE USA – CONNECTICUT 4 MAY 2018- 20 MAY 2018 I hereby want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Rotary International club for the opportunity to travel to the United States of America to learn more about Substance Abuse and to exchange information regarding this epidemic. The kind gesture of all the Rotarians and members who were part of the two (2) weeks journey was priceless and the way you made us feel cannot be easily forgotten. The generosity towards me overwhelmed me and therefore I am forever very grateful for this wonderful experience. At first, I was not interested in this exchange group, because I was not familiar with Rotary International and the services they render, therefore after several requests from the office manager and CEO, I decided to “give in”, whereby I completed the application form and motivational letter as to why I would be the perfect candidate. After submitting my documents, I went for an interview during October 2017. A few weeks after the interview we were called to say whether we were successful or not, and to my amazement, I was the successful candidate chosen to travel to the USA. Initially the news did not excite me at all, but after a few months the reality kicked in and I could not get enough of telling my family and friends about this trip and I started looking forward to be in the Big America as it was my first time travelling there.

MY FIRST TRIP TO THE USA – CONNECTICUT
4 MAY 2018- 20 MAY 2018
I hereby want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Rotary International club for the opportunity
to travel to the United States of America to learn more about Substance Abuse and to exchange
information regarding this epidemic. The kind gesture of all the Rotarians and members who
were part of the two (2) weeks journey was priceless and the way you made us feel cannot be
easily forgotten. The generosity towards me overwhelmed me and therefore I am forever very
grateful for this wonderful experience.
At first, I was not interested in this exchange group, because I was not familiar with Rotary
International and the services they render, therefore after several requests from the office
manager and CEO, I decided to “give in”, whereby I completed the application form and
motivational letter as to why I would be the perfect candidate. After submitting my documents,
I went for an interview during October 2017. A few weeks after the interview we were called
to say whether we were successful or not, and to my amazement, I was the successful candidate
chosen to travel to the USA. Initially the news did not excite me at all, but after a few months
the reality kicked in and I could not get enough of telling my family and friends about this trip
and I started looking forward to be in the Big America as it was my first time travelling there.
