EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print from June 1992, we witness the remarkable Rotary Club Exchange organized by Lostwithiel Rotary Club in Cornwall. The image showcases two bright young women, Jo Barker and Naomi Dennison, who were sponsored by the club on a transformative youth study exchange to Moscow, Russia. Aged 16 and 18 respectively, these adventurous souls embarked on an educational journey alongside seven other talented individuals from their county. In this heartwarming snapshot, Jo and Naomi stand proudly beside three esteemed members of Lostwithiel Rotary Club: Chris Jones, Roddy Macdonald, and Michael Kelly. Their smiles radiate excitement for the upcoming adventure that awaits them in distant lands. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of community support and international camaraderie fostered through initiatives like the Rotary Club Exchange. The significance of this moment extends beyond mere travel; it symbolizes cultural immersion and knowledge sharing between nations during a time when such opportunities were rare. Through this program, these young ambassadors not only represented their hometown but also forged lasting connections with peers from diverse backgrounds. Preserved within this print is an emblematic chapter of Cornish history—a tale of education transcending borders—capturing both pride in local heritage and enthusiasm for global exploration.
