SEVENTEEN-year-old Charley Thorp is just weeks away from leaving for France, her new home until January 2025.

On January 20, 2024, Charley will begin her year long journey in Europe as an exchange student thanks to the Rotary Youth Exchange Program and Windmill Jelderks Trust scholarship of $2500, helping cover costs, except for airfares.
