GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE BUILDS GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS.
This week’s The Rotary Foundation “One Minute Message” is about Group Study Exchange (GSE). A GSE team from Holland spent four weeks in California, USA. During their time in California, the Dutch GSE team raised $2,913 for the Inca Educa charity based in Cusco, Peru to build a school library for underprivileged young adults. The team, led by retired firefighter, Bob Boersma, was composed of people from diverse professions: working in public service, administrative law, public broadcasting and financial services. The team participated in vocational and cultural days and returned home, having made new friends and business contacts, ready to share new ideas with their Dutch countrymen. Has your club sponsored a GSE? This week the GES Team from Sweden & Lativa will visit with Clubs in the Miami area. They will be at our Halloween Party on Friday, October 29. Please make an effort to visit with them at one of their published club visits during their time here. They will also be with us at the District 6990 Conference Cruise in November. It’s a great way to create Service through Acquaintance. Contributions to our Foundation are the oil that makes the Rotary Wheel of service turn. “BUILDING COMMUNITIES - BRIDGING CONTINENTS”
