Meet our new 2009/10 Rotary Youth Exchange student - Simon Paha.
Simon comes from Karlsruhe, in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
He's 17 years old has two younger sisters Carola 13 and Judith 8.
His Dad Andreas is a Civil Engineer, in a large construction firm, and his Mum Martina works as a Wholesale Trader.
The Karlsruhe Rotary Club, of District 1930, is the sponsoring Rotary Club.
Simon enjoys playing the Baritone Horn in the Karlsruhe Youth Orchestra. His Dad plays the Trombone.
He also enjoys playing tennis. His favourite school subjects are Chemistry, Maths and English.
He's done a fair bit of travel in his somewhat young life, travelling to USA several times and also to Spain, Croatia, Austria, Greece, France, Italy, Turkey and Switzerland and well as several other countries.
The highlight of his travels though would have to be Mackay, Queensland!
The first host family is Liz and George Springall - the club members look forward to enjoying this young mans company over the next year.
