A Warm Rotary Welcome For YJI Reporter

     The Bristol Rotary Club welcomed a guest speaker Tuesday – Ameni Mathlouthi, a Youth Journalism International reporter from Tunis, Tunisia. Ameni, who is 17, is an exchange student attending public high school in Connecticut this year in the Youth Exchange and Study program through the U.S. State Department. She told the Rotarians about participating in her country’s revolution and what life was like under the former dictatorship.
     YJI appreciates the club’s hospitality and interest in both Ameni and in Youth Journalism International. Ameni, who returns home next month, will be speaking at the Universalist Church of West Hartford, Conn. on Sunday, June 3 at 10 a.m. All are welcome.
