Ben Roache - Rotary Exchange Student
At the meeting on 17th July our speaker was Ben Roache. Ben was an Exchange Student sponsored by the Rotary Club of Marion in 2010.
Ben attended Scotch College and studied Japanese as part of his matriculation course. He had travelled to Japan with his family when he was 11 years old and had a love of the country, its language and culture from then on.
He completed his studies in law at the University of Adelaide in 2016 and will soon be taking up a position in Myanmar which is he looking forward to.
Other guests at this meeting were Ben’s father, Brian and Past President of the Rotary Club of Marion, Darrell Wise.
Ben gave us an interesting presentation on the opportunities and experiences that are available to students who participate in Rotary’s Long Term Student Exchange Programme.
