Our club jointly supported the GRSP participation of Anna Boggiss, a student from New Zealand attending Oglethorpe University. Our partner clubs are the Rotary Clubs of Sandy Springs, Johns Creek and North Fulton.
Club member Christine Barrett and her husband have been the lead host family for Nicole this year. Other members of our club have had the privilege of hosting Nicole at their homes as well. Beyond supporting Nicole with the logistics of attending school and her club and District sponsored activities, our members have also helped Nicole travel around the southeast and to attend college and pro basketball games. Nicole loves basketball and plays competitively on a national level back home in Guatemala.
For estimating hours, I said that 6 Club Members supported Nicole and other GRSP students during the GRSP Atlanta Enclave weekend for a total of 30 hours. Then I estimated that for 30 weeks, the main GRSP host family spent an average of 8 hours per week with hands-on time with the student. This totaled 270 hours.
