That's
exactly felt on the faces of 4 RYE outbound students for year
2012-13 namely,
1. Dimple
(Daughter of PP Rtn. Umesh and Sudha Soni) visiting Brazil,
2. Jhanvi
(Daughter of PE Rtn. Mayank and Bela Desai) visiting USA,
3. Dhwani
(Daughter of Rtn. Hemang and Hemangini Vora) visiting USA,
4. Urvashi
(Daughter of Rtn. Haresh and Priti Abhani) visiting Germany.
During the
year 2012-13, four students, all girls (first time in the
history of RC Borivli and also highest in the district 3140 from
a single club second consecutive year) are leaving to different
countries under RYE program. On 20th July, 2012 during our
regular meeting, we felicitated and greeted with best wishes to
these 4 RYE outbound students. They were all excited and full of
enthusiasm to experience a new life of RYE year during their
visit in respective countries.
We also
felicitated 3 RYE Rebound students of the year 2011-12 (highest
in the District 3140 from a single club in that year) namely,
1. Aavruti
Sharma (Daughter of PP Rtn. Prafull and Vidyottama Sharma)
visited Germany
2. Aayushi
Tapiawala (Daughter of Rtn. Ashish and Ketal Tapiawala) visited
France
3. Maullic
Popat (Son of Rtn. Vinod and Mayuri Popat) visited USA
All of them
were allotted 10 min. each for their presentation to share their
10-11 months stay. But looking at their desire to express their
wonderful experiences, with the permission of house, the meeting
was extended by 30 min. All present there could actually feel
the difference RYE program made in these 3 students. They all
were very confident in their mesmerizing presentation
as well as Q&A session thereafter. All 3 were looking impressive
in their Jackets full of pins, souvenirs and mementos. Their
jackets speaks about friends they made worldwide. The
achievements and recognition they received from their host
districts made our club and district and specially our country
proud. The bonding they made with their host families and other
RYE students from different countries will surely be long
lasting relationship. The knowledge, skills, culture and
lifestyle they experienced during this year is, as Aavruti
rightly said,
IT'S NOT A YEAR IN LIFE, BUT
LIFE IN A YEAR.
The meeting
was full house with 94 attendees and their standing ovation is
surely a great motivation for all 7 RYE students. We
congratulate all 3 Rebound students and wish all the best for 4
outbound students. Kudos to district RYE-chair, our own PP Rtn.
Chetan Desai for successfully executing the program during last
year. His efforts and innovative ideas during this year will
also make the year, most memorable for district as well as for
all RYE students. His continuous communications during the year
is surely a great help for students.
Ms. Charlotte, a RYE inbound student from Berlin, Germany has
already arrived and is with Rtn. Haresh Abhani's family right
now. During the meeting we also welcomed her. Our club is
hosting 4 RYE Inbound students this year. This is a great
opportunity for all Rotary members to host a child at their
house. If you wish to host, please contact International
Director Rtn. Rashmikant Sanghvi.
The meeting was adjourned after vote of thanks by Rtn. Lalit
Jadav.
