Linda Cerna, a Rotaract member from Honduras has recently gained employment to work at the Marshfield Agricultural Research Station near Stratford from April to mid-August, 2017. She is in need of a place to stay for her 4-month stay in the Marshfield area and we'd like to find 2-4 families that would be willing to host Linda during her stay with Rotarian hospitality! Darla Leick has opened her home to Linda and will also be coordinating any other families that may be open to hosting. For more information or to sign up to host Linda, please contact Darla Leick at dleick@msn.com
 
From Linda:
"I believe that Rotary inculcates the training of professional leaders in their work and their community through fellowship and community service at local and international levels. In the past, with the Rotaract Club I'm part with (of), we have been helping several communities that are in need. I'm very happy to be part of the Rotarian Family.
My hobbies, I like reading (no specific theme), I also do horseback riding since 2009, I know certain and few cooking like Sopa de Tortilla, which is a traditional Mexican food, although I'm from Honduras my sister-in-law taught me how to do it. I also like traveling. I became aware about the Research Station since last year, I went with my cousin to the Dairy Expo, we went visiting several farms and the Research became one of my favorites, I sent an email that I wanted to do my internship and they accepted me for Summer next year. For my future, short-term I will like doing my master's degree, this could be in the States or also at Europe, there's one university located at Poland which has the program I'm in love with, and the best part it is not expensive, it is almost like 4,000 euros the year. Obviously, still being part of the Rotary Family. For long-term, I will like working abroad, unfortunately, the high quality work is not well paid in here in my country. I do think we need to do some changes in our life in order to be successful."
 
Thank you for your consideration!
