We are proud to host Alba Valle Izquierdo, inbound student from Spain. She is pictured with her first Host Mother, Carey Cress Fose, where they recently met in Barcelona. Alba is 18 and arrives in Madison August 28. She will be attending Middleton High School.
Alba lives in a four room flat near the center of Barcelona, located in northern Spain on the Mediterranean coast. Alba’s parents are both teachers. She has one older sister, Neila. Alba’s native languages are Spanish and Catalan and she speaks English quite well. She plays the piano, volunteers at a hospital and enjoys skiing, reading and writing.
Her favorite activity is travelling. She has been to England, Canada, Norway and Brazil in addition to several countries in Europe.
Dan Fose, Youth Exchange Officer, Connie Smith, Youth Exchange Counselor

Unfortunately, we received a message today rescinding the case beer sale offer from WI Brewing. We are not to sell any more cases and our flyers will not be valid. Sorry about this, but is is out of our control. Please spread the word.
The village of Kumbharwadi is one of many in a drought-prone region near Mumbai, India. Until recently, its residents had access to only one well with drinkable water. During the summer months, the well runs dry, and the women and girls of the village travel three to four hours a day to search for water.
Enter Project Boond, undertaken by a Rotaract club, a Rotary club, and the Watershed Organization Trust to provide clean drinking water and sanitation facilities in Kumbharwadi. Nikunj Pherwani, 2013-14 president of the Rotaract Club of Hassaram Rijhumal College of Commerce and Economics in...
In Jamaica, 11-year-old Jordan Allwood reads his classmates a story about a lonely puppy who finds a new family.
The puppy grows into a big dog, enjoys walks along the beach, and survives a frightening autumn day when he is caught in a trap before being rescued by his family. Jordan's story is one of hundreds that were written by children ages 7-11 for a writing contest organized by the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean 7020 and supported by clubs in 10 Caribbean nations.
The best stories, including Jordan's, were published in "The Butterfly StoryBook," produced by the club and sold through...
When Marty Hatala, a member of the Rotary Club of Boaz, Alabama, first traveled to Ghana in 2010 to volunteer at a local orphanage, she saw how local communities struggled to find clean water.
Though at least 80 percent of the country's population has access to improved water sources, according to UNICEF, 5 million Ghanaians still use water from unsafe sources. That leaves a significant part of the country's population susceptible to a range of diseases. Worldwide, one out of every five deaths among those under the age of five is caused by water-related diseases.
Hatala's experiences in Ghana...
In case you haven't heard, a man raised nearly $60,000 to make potato salad as a spoof on a popular fundraising site. If he can do that, a campaign to raise money for feeding hungry children or building a school in a war-torn country should be a snap, right?
Wrong. The Internet is littered with humanitarians struggling to raise the money and gather the resources for projects that could make a positive impact in the world.
So, what is the secret to a successful crowdsourcing campaign? It's simple, really: make it easy to give. Here are some ways you can make it easy for supporters to back your...
In May, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the international spread of polio a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), and issued a set of recommendations to all polio-impacted countries. On 31 July, the situation was reassessed and the Director-General has declared polio remains a public health emergency. Several factors played into this decision, including:
Both Pakistan and Equatorial Guinea have exported the virus internationally since May.
Polio thrives in areas compromised by conflict. The unfortunate reality is that there are...
