A taste of South America has arrived in Arvada for the school year of 2007-08. She is an exchange student from Brazil by the name of Rhaiza Carvalho Uieda. Her hometown of Sao Gotardo is in the state of Minas Gerais in central Brazil. Rhaiza is sponsored by the Sao Gotardo Rotary Club and District 4760.

While she is in Colorado, she will be the guest of the Arvada Rotary Club, District 5450, under the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. She will attend Arvada High School as a senior and in June return to Brazil to resume her studies there. She arrived in Denver on Aug. 5, and her first host parents from the Arvada club are Dan and Marilyn Hershberger. Rhaiza is looking forward to meeting students in the Arvada area and helping out with community projects sponsored by the club. Her long-range goal is to become a lawyer and she has the ability, work habits and character traits that will help her succeed. This is the first time that Rhaiza has visited the United States and she is very excited about experiencing American culture.
