Brida Peres is a charming young student from Brazil on the Rotary student exchange program. The Rotary Club of Nepean/Kanata is the sponsoring club for Brida. She will be here until July 2017 and will be visiting may parts of Canada during her stay here.  She really wanted to come to Canada and had a wonderful time experiencing our recent Halloween celebrations. Her parents are hosting a student from Taiwan.
