Report on Meeting 2853
Hendrik Feldhoff – Summary of his Rotary Exchange
Chairperson: Michael Moore
Hendrik came to Australia as a Rotary Exchange Student from Germany, arriving in Adelaide on the 4th Aug 2013. His father has a PHD in Chemistry, but has moved into finance and accounting for a large insurance company; his mother is a taxation consultant and he has a younger sister.He was quite thrilled, when he arrived at his first host parent’s house at Brighton, to find that they had erected a flag pole with a German flag on it in the front garden.
With his host parents, they travelled the Great Ocean Road for three days, stopping at Mount Gambier, the Grampians and Melbourne, during which he had a great time. Whilst at the Grampians, he had his 16th birthday and they celebrated at a restaurant, where he had kangaroo meat for the first time. During the trip he also held a koala bear.
His first day at school was a little different to back home, as he had to wear a school uniform; which he found a bit strange. On arrival at the school, the Deputy Principal showed him to his classroom and introduced him to a fellow student who was to be his “buddy” during his stay, which worked out well as his “buddy” is now one of his best friends. He had a 3 day holiday on Kangaroo Island with his host parents and his “buddy” and visited many interesting places such as the Remarkable Rocks and Seal Beach. Hendrik was impressed with KI.
All the exchange students in our district, spent three weekends together at locations such as the Warrnambool District Conference and at a farm in Lameroo, where to his horror he helped participate in the castrating of a couple of bulls and trying his hand at shearing a sheep. They certainly enjoyed their introduction to life on a farm.On Christmas day, he reflected upon the differences between what his parents were doing in Germany; enjoying the abundance of snow and the cold which goes with it and his sailing and frolicking on the beach with his friends in the warm sunshine at Brighton.

On Boxing Day, Hendrik changed host parents and shifted in with Mike and Marion Moorefor 6 months.They travelled to Nelson Bay in NSW to spend some time with their family. Marion’s brother, who is a member of a gun club, invited them to a rifle range, where Hendrik fired a black powder gun. He didn’t always hit the target, but had a great time. He has been to watch Adelaide United play soccer, saw the Adelaide Crows in an AFL game at Adelaide Oval, saw Ray’s old team North Adelaide playing AFL and even watched a netball game.
One of his highlights was the Rock to Reef safari trip. The Sth Aust,Vic, and Tasmanian exchange students met in Melbourne. They then headed off on a 23 day road/fly experience. Their camping locations each night were many and varied, where most nights were spent in tents out in the elements, with a few wet nights being experienced along the way. At Gladstone, they slept indoors inside a prison, which was definitely something different. After a long drive to Coober Pedy, they spent the night underground in bunk beds. At Kings Canyon, they slept outside in tents, knowing that dingo’s were hanging around and worrying if they were going to get eaten during the night. A visit to Uluru to see the changing colours of the Rock was greeted with delight, but the anticipated climb up the rock was thwarted when it was declared that it was too windy to climb safely; so they did a 14.2km walk around the base of the rock instead. It was then off to Alice Springs to spend the night, and hit the shopping centre to purchase souvenirs.
From Alice they flew to Cairns for 3 nights, and there they ventured out to the Great Barrier Reef to participate in some diving and snorkeling, which was an amazing experience. They saw rain forests, lakes and waterfalls in the Hinterland; as well as the white sand at Airlie Beach. Byron Bay they liked because it was so laid back. After visiting Rockhampton, Port Macquarie and Sydney, it was time for fond farewells and reluctant parting; then on a plane back to Adelaide. The next trip for Hendrik, was to the World Rotary Convention in Sydney, where he met many Rotarians and Rotaractors and had an enjoyable time. He is now going to travel with the Moore family to Canberra and Port Stephens, then catch up with his parents.
It was an interesting and well presented talk by Hendrik, who has been a delight to have in our club and an excellent ambassador for his country. Thanks also to Mike and Marion Moore, for hosting Hendrik for the last six months. I know Hendrik appreciates their time, efforts and friendshipthat they & their families have conveyed to him.

.ROTARY AVENUES OF SERVICE
Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channelled through five Avenues of Service.
CLUB SERVICE
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
VOCATIONAL SERVICE
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
INTERNATIONAL SERVICE
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
YOUTH SERVICE
Youth Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults involved in leadership development activities, community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding.
Many Rotary Projects will be expressed across more than one Avenues of Service and there is no strict delineation of Rotary Projects to fit the above categories.
