In August 2010,  Hamilton Boys High School student,  Stewart Gibson,  was selected for an International Youth Exchange  sponsored by Waikato Sunrise. During his introductory visit to the club,  along with parents Sharon and Russell Gibson,  Stewart gave an overview of his interests and involvements to date, and his plans for the future.  He was very excited about his opportunity to visit Argentina for a year and expressed his appreciation for this Rotary opportunity.

Stewart was farewelled by Waikato Sunrise members in December 2010,  and headed to Argentina mid January 2011,  to be hosted by the Rotary Club of Chilecito del Bicentenario,  in Chilecito City,  La Roija,  Argentina.
