Presentation by Exchange Student

During our weekly Rotary meeting, an Ermelo Phoenix Exchange Student from the Netherlands, Ms. Mara Daniel, who is exchanging with Ishani Lala from Middelburg, did a great presentation to club members. Mara stayed with Tanesh and Jyoti Lala in Middelburg.

Mara is from the Maas & Roer Rotary Club in Roermond, The Netherlands and stayed here for 5 weeks as an exchange student.  She also spend two days at St. Thomas Aquinas School in eMalahleni.

She talked about her experiences in South Africa and encounters with wild animals, which she loved. It was such a pleasure to listen to her stories and experiences.

In the photo she is shown with our Rotary Middelburg Club President, Andre Brandmuller and they are exchanging Rotary Club Flags.

Thank you, Mara for a great presentation!
