Last Monday we were treated to presentations from two young adults who have participated in Rotary youth programs.
Michell Ladhams was our sole participant in last months RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) program when Zac Plumridge was forced to withdraw at the last minute with the onset of a migraine.
Mitchells presentation was very honest, frank and incredibly well articulated, and gave us all a great insight into the life changing program at RYLA. Mitchell described the experience as being like living in a bubble without the distractions and pressures of everyday life which provided the opportunity to understand and learn more about yourself. In fact since completing RYLA has commenced writing a book. Mitchell has proved to be a very deserving recipient of the RYLA program and has done our Club proud.
Pia Westaway is the Daughter of our soon to be member, Alanna Begg. Pia was on Exchange in Canada at the same time as Kelly and Paul's son, Liam which is when their friendship began . As always it was inspiring to hear Pia's story of her Exchange experience and the effect it has had on her life.
These two young adults are positive proof that the Rotary Youth Programs RYLA and Youth Exchange are still very relevant in todays world and producing positive life results for their participants.
