Each year over 7,500 students travel the world for an unforgettable exchange year in another country, all hosted and arranged by Rotary International. District 9940 in New Zealand covers the bottom half of the North Island and has been hosting international students since c1960. This video captures a "year in the life of" an exchange student in New Zealand and whilst some activities are not conducted every year, you will see that there are many exciting moments as well as some sad ones, especially at departure for home after 12 months!
