BB COMMUNITY SWITZERLAND ADVENTURE AWAITS CRAIG KIELBURGER TEEN KAPAR EXCITED TO BE PART OF ROTARY EXCHANGE PROGRAM STEVE LEBLANC sleblanc@metroland.com Sudu Kapar can't wait to be awestruck by the Alps, get famil- iar with the art of yodelling and savour some exquisite chocolate. The Milton teen will experi- -ence all three -- and much more _, -- over the coming year, with Switzerland serving as her tem- porary home. Recently-accepted into the Ro- tary Exchange program, the 16- year-old Craig Kielburger Sec- ondary School student has always enjoyed family trips back to their native Nepal or to various desti- nations in the U.S. That wanderlust was further fuelled a couple of years ago by a science supply teacher, whose own exchange student experienc- es in Europe left a lasting impres- + Protect your Home and Family Call us now . 905.876.1941 sion on Kapar. So when she came across a poster for the Rotary program last year, the opportunity was too in- triguing not to pursue. "I'thought 'Why not?'" recalled the Switzerland-bound youth, who heads out on her Grade 11 ad- venture in early August. "I love absorbing new environments and seeing something different." The travel bug is certainly an ideal characteristic for someone with an eye toward making a ca- reer of humanitarian work -- something inspired by her aid worker father. Continuing that family tradi- tion, Kapar is among the leaders of her school's Youth in Action club, following in Craig Kielburg- er's goodwill footsteps. The honour roll student is also a member of the Milton youth ad- ,visory committee and an active volunteer-with Grace Anglican Church. = A gifted artist -- whose cre- ativity is often seen around CKSS through fundraising posters -- have up to 800 wasps * Populations "explode" in mid-August : - © Wasps start feeding un carbohydrates found at your picnic table in mid-August * Wasps do not produce honey, keep children away from active nests Follow us on ® @HRPC info Follow us on [J @infoHRPC ALT&N REGION SPECIALISING IN iy PEST MANAGEMENT Halton Region Pest Control has been g.otecting Families Lj Milton for over 30 years -available once she arrives to help a poet experience." rs WAHHDTRENH (AY WASP SEASON?

Following her acceptance into the exchange program, she at- tended Rotary's Camp Wanakita in Haliburton, where she met stu- dents from countries like Taiwan, France and Peru. "It was amazing ... other than it being in February and freezing," quipped the local youth, who's currently leaining to speak Ger- man (primary language in Swit- zerland) and will have a tutor make her more fluent. "Getting to know the exchange students on a personal level was great." - Kapar will be living near Swit- zerland's capital of Bern and can't wait to see all the country has to offer. = "I'm anxious to see the Swiss Alps, and they're known for their great festivals.
