Rotary funds study exchange

Rotarian John Dehnel said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for four people to see how their professions or vocations are carried out there, and to learn new ideas to bring back to their own worksplaces.

"It is also a wonderful cultural and social experience which will broaden the mind and increase self-confidence."

The team members, led by a Rotary club member as team leader, will be aged 25 to 40 with a minimum of two years' work experience. The Rotary clubs are especially looking for anyone working in education and special needs, fire and police, health care and social services and local government.

The successful candidates will undergo training in presentation and team worrking skills prior to the exchange from February 13 to March 13, 2010.

Team members only have to cover the cost of their travel insurance, injections and pocket money as all other costs will be covered by Rotary.
