Gleb, 2018
Dear Rotarians, This summer I decided
to go to the Rotary camp in Sicily. It was
my first experience here and I liked it
so much! I found lots of new friends
from different countries and we still
have a strong friendship and planning to
go to each other, visited lots of touristic
places and was amazed by Italian
architecture, mostly by churches! My
family was very hospitable, kind and they
were ready to help me in any time and I
am really grateful for that! Also, I want
to say a special thanks for our
coordinator Aldo! He was very patient
and always ready to handle any bad
situation, we were like second kids for
him and we also loved him like our second
dad! Thank you, Rotary, for such
opportunity, this was the best camp in
my life!
