On August 20, Malaika Latif arrived from Jakarta, Indonesia to her host family in Annapolis.  She is enrolled as a junior at Broadneck High School.  She is one of four exchange students at Broadneck this year.  Malaika is an outgoing 17 year old who speaks fluent English.  Her host sister Rachel is happy to help Malaika get acquainted with classmates and experience new activities.   The Parole Rotary Club supplies a monthly stipend and opportunities to join in club activities.  


LOOKING FOR A HOST FAMILY– Be Part of Something Great!

Malaika will be hosted by 3 different families during her year in Annapolis.  Each family hosts for 3 ½ months.  She is currently living with the Spitzer family.   

Hosting a Rotary International high school exchange student is a life-enhancing experience for your entire family.  It’s a unique opportunity to get new perspectives, explore new customs, and share American culture and your community with others.  Most of all, you’ll build special friendships and connections that often last a lifetime. 

What to Expect:

  • Exchange students are  involved with your family, school, and Rotary events.
  • Host families must live in the Broadneck High School area.  They  provide room, board, and school transportation, while Rotary provides a monthly stipend. 
  • Students are thoroughly screened and arrive with spending money and full insurance.

We help park cars

We “park cars” during Navy home football games. We direct traffic to ensure the safety and organized and efficient parking of cars. The money we raise from this effort gives us funds to donate to nonprofits in our community. In 2022, we donated $50,000 to twenty-one nonprofits who are #makingadifference.

We love books!

BIG (Books for International Goodwill) was originally created by the Parole Rotary Club of Annapolis and still receives our support today. The hunger for books staggers the imagination. We want to provide the inspiration to all in our local communities to underserved communities around the world.
