Jess in Denmark
August 6, 2006: Jess is officially in Denmark! After many tearful goodbyes on August 5th from the Sacramento, California, USA Airport, Jess arrived in Denmark on Sunday afternoon and is now with her first host family on the main peninsula of Southern Jutland. She had an opportunity to meet several Rotary Youth Exchange students from all over the US and Canada during her flights and layovers. They are all students that will also be staying in Danish towns, some not too far from her own. Jess will be departing for a week of language camp later this month, in which she will meet up with most of these students again. Following language camp she will be starting her junior year of high school as a Danish student!

Outbound Orientation
Every year approximately 7,000 students world wide ages 15 1/2 to 18 1/2 go abroad under the auspices of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, either for the academic year or an extended period of time. The increased self awareness and global perspective that they derive from the experience would not be possible without the commitment of the many volunteer host families and the dedication of volunteer Rotarians who serve as Youth Exchange officers and committee members.
