Youth Exchange...... and MORE!

 From the Youth Exchange Newsletter:

Homesickness: The second wave of culture shock

Rotary Youth Exchange students who departed in August are approaching their fourth month of exchange. While most are adapting to their new surroundings, some may be experiencing the effects of delayed homesickness, commonly known as the “second wave” of culture shock. Contributing factors can include difficulties learning the new language, challenges fitting in at school or in the community, and problems connecting with their host family.

Just a reminder that you can subscribe to receive RI Newsletters on this and ALL Rotary topics.  Check out this link and sign up for those that would be of interest or assistance to your Rotary goals:
