In 2024 we sponsored Sissi, and on Monday 4th November we were delighted to host Sissi and her family and Sissi gave us an engaging talk on her experience of our activities based leadership training programme

  

President Humphrey presented Sissi with her Certificate of Achievement

Sissi gave fulsome praise for the event and said:

"I enthusiastically recommend the RYLA experience. Activity based experiences like building a raft, navigating in dark caves, abseiling a cliff and blindfold guided walks though woodland, rapidly improved our self confidence to engage with others to organise and work in teams and then to lead a team to complete something we had never done before. I am so grateful to Haddenham and District Rotary for providing this wonderful opportunity which I shall treasure. My RYLA experience will be a lasting reference point for me in my future career path"
