McKenzie Blake:
Beaufort Academy student McKenzie Blake will spend her junior year studying abroad in Sweden at Tibble Gymnasium, a high school enrolling 1,150 students. McKenzie,
who is sponsored by Rotary Club of Hampton County, will leave on July 28 and return the following July. While in Sweden, she will be immersed in the Swedish language and live with multiple families during her stay.
“I have always been interested in summer aboard programs,” said Blake. “One day, as I was researching some programs and I came across Rotary’s long term stay and realized that is what I wanted to do.” Blake sees language as her biggest challenge during the 12-month stay. Blake is most excited about the experience itself, and plans to soak up all she can during her exchange program.
Ben Hetherington: Beaufort Academy student Ben Hetherington will spend his junior year studying abroad in Spain at I.E.S. Ana Maria Matute. Ben, who is 
sponsored by the Beaufort Rotary Club, will leave in August, and return next July at the close of his junior year. While is Spain, Ben will be immersed in the Spanish language and live with three different families during his 9-month stay. “I have always had a fascination with travel and other cultures,” said Hetherington. “I saw this trip abroad as a way not only to learn another culture but to truly live it.”
