We are now back home and want to tell the story of the wonderful people we have met, the culture we’ve experienced, our professional exchanges, and the Rotary projects that touched our hearts.
Here in 6440, each team member is taking responsibility for scheduling three or more presentations so club program chairs may contact anyone on the team to schedule a program. Rotarians will also have the opportunity to hear about our cultural and professional exchange at Foundation and at District Conference.
While it is true that the GSE District 6440 month long visit to District 4480 has come to an end for Maos Juntas, the exchange, of course, will continue.
As Team Leader, I want to take this opportunity to thank the 4480 Rotarians, families, friends, and businesses who have opened their hearts and homes to our team. The personalized and caring experiences have been beyond our expectations. There are not words or gifts that could express our feelings and appreciation. You have “paid it forward” and now it is ours to share your kindness in word and deeds as we go forward.
Waldermar is so right: “A friend is a gift you give yourself” and Maos Juntas returns to the U.S.A. with many “gifts.”
To the Rotary Foundation and District 6440 who gave us their support, we also say, “thank you.” GSE is quite the opportunity for those chosen and who fully involve themselves to make friends and connections that will ensure the continued promotion of international understanding, goodwill, and peace. We are indebted to the Rotary World and hope to hear that we have made you proud.
Our Blog tells of the towns we visited and touches on our vocational visits, cultural experiences, the wonderful Rotarians we met, and the projects near and dear to your hearts. But it is not complete. Add your comments to continue the story: please tell your experience with Maos Juntas and add a link to your club, business, or a project you would like to be sure to see featured. This is one of the ways we can continue our exchange and understanding of each other in our communities and the world.
Muito obrigada – muito prazer – ate mais!…

Love & Halloos
