We'd like to thank Rotary of Toronto West and Rotary of Etobicoke for sponsoring these students, they had a great time!
Testimonies from Rotaract
"Interota 2014 was an amazing experience. I have met devoted and likeminded Rotarians and Rotaractors who value service above self. I have made friends from all over the world and the best part is that the journey has only begun. Interota has not only given me insight on both my personal and professional development but has given me a chance to push the limits and be the best I can be." - Raveena Kaura
"The only time you will hear the words boring, dull and uninspired used alongside the word INTERTOA is if the words "is not" is squeezed in-between. INTEROTA was like a teddy bear, the harder you held it the more joy it gave you. The same comfort you feel towards the teddy bear is the same level of belonging you felt among the over 150 delegates. The way the bear protects you from your biggest fears is the same way INTERTOA works to fight and challenge our way of thinking on burning issues like human rights. INTERTOA is everything and anything you want it to be just remember it will always hug you back." - Japjot Lail
"Interota exceeded my expectations. It gave me the opportunity to grow as an individual, to share with other Rotaractors and to serve the Montreal community through volunteer work." - Temitope Olanbiwonnu
"Interota 2014 was like a fortune cookie for me; with a promise of some sweetness and wisdom. The sweetness came from the cherishable moments..I spent with my newly made friends and the promise of wisdom came from some amazingly eloquent speakers. So yes, INTEROTA 2014 was my fortune cookie." - Natasha Shahbaz
