She had travelled to Paris from her home town of Brive-La-Gaillarde (referred to as Brive) which is 5 hours south of Paris and 3 hours from the Atlantic Ocean. From there she flew with Emirates via Dubai to Auckland, changing to Easy Jet for the last leg to Wellington. Unfortunately, her luggage didn't take the same flights and arrived a day later!
Amandine, who is 17, lives with her parents, Stephane (who manages a shop selling sportswear) and Sandrine (a District Nurse) and her sister, Margaux who is 22. She is clearly a good tennis player so we may need to find a club for her to join.
A small group of Rotarians met Amandine. Gaylene Lines, the District Inbound Coordinator, her first host parents, Jenny and Ron Lucas, Ken Gardiner, representing her mentor and counsellor, Cath Berryman, and Wendy Betteridge. Despite many, many hours en route, she appeared to be fresh and very receptive to everything going on around her. And the good news is that her English is pretty good! Jenny reports that Amandine has an amazing ability to observe and then follow suit as evidenced by the great action she displayed with a concrete trowel over the weekend.
Amandine's second host family will be Rhys Sinké's parents, Chris and Fiona and their 15-year-old daughter, Miya, who live in Whitby. More host families are sought so if you would like to volunteer, please let President Jenny know.

'The internet is the infrastructure tool of the modern age', he says. 'However, we need to challenge the status quo of the internet with a completely fresh approach to the way websites work, to deliver even more. We need a mission to help people to more easily and productively connect, build relationships, share knowledge, find resources, develop assets, advance ideas, fund raise and promote themselves and others. In short, to benefit individuals, clusters and active communities of common interest'.
Fraser Carson is a director of Flightdec Limited, a Wellington-based marketing and communications consultancy. Flightdec has developed a unique online platform that delivers websites to clients in the community and membership sector that supports connectivity and collaboration.
Fraser is a strategic problem-solver and implementer with more than 40 years experience.
He see his primary mission as; helping people more easily and productively share knowledge and information, advance ideas, find quality resources, develop assets, build relationships, make sales and promote themselves and others through smarter use of the internet.
