Example

Italian Rotarian parents of a former Rotary Youth Exchange student spend time with the family who hosted their son in Thailand. Rotarian pediatricians from Ghana travel to Germany to stay with doctors there.
Experiences like these happen all the time through Rotary Friendship Exchange, Rotary’s international exchange program for Rotarians and their families. Participants experience other cultures and build friendships by staying in the homes of Rotary club members in another country. This program advances international understanding and peace through personal contact across borders while developing interclub relationships that lead to fellowship and service projects.

How it works
Types of Friendship Exchanges
Visitor program Individual Rotarians, who may be accompanied by family members, spend a few days in a Rotarian’s home abroad.
Team program Rotarian couples (typically four to six) visit several communities in a host district for up to one month.
Univocational Rotarians of the same occupation observe how their job is done in other countries.
Guidelines
Only Rotarians and their immediate families are eligible for the visitor program, and participation in the team program is limited to Rotarians and their spouses.
Spouses or children must always be accompanied by Rotarians on an exchange.
Rotarians interested in participating must apply through their club president. Not every district participates in Friendship Exchange, so prospective applicants should ask their club president about the program.
District governors from participating districts appoint a district Friendship Exchange chair, who is responsible for coordinating exchanges through a list of chairs from around the world. E-mail mailto:friendshipexchange@rotary.orgto identify your district chair.

The first stretch of journey was an up hill climb. We did stopped for a few times for rest knowing all of us were "city lau". But the young ladies were full of energy and "no sweat" for them. After the huffing and puffing through the trail, we finally arrived at the Waterfall. It was an amazing fall 2 tiers of about 60 feet height. PP Datuk Vincent Pung and family finally caught up with us from behind as they started late. We had sumptuous grill and boil seafood and many snack brought by first lady Mary and the Rotarians. We also had good fellowship with each other over a physio therapy in the waterfall. The Children also enjoyed themselves playing in the stream and found all the funny insects in it such as the river bug or water boatman insect. All of us did enjoyed the trip and we hope in the distance future we will be organised another adventure trip like this nature and do hope next time even more will join us..
